Blog help, please

I need a little blog help from my friends.  Everytime Blogger redesigns or changes something it seems to throw something else off.   Blogger help forum seems to be a joke, so like most of you, we have to rely on each other to figure stuff out.

Here is my problem.  I want to change the format of my comments.  It used to be an easy fix but I have been looking and looking and can't seem to change it. 

My comments used to appear directly below each post.  I think it used to be referred to as "imbedded" in the former blogger settings.  A few months ago when virtually everybody seemed to be having commenting problems, I changed my settings to "pop-up" which it is now where my comment section pops up in a different window.  I hate it.  I want to go back to imbedded.  

BUT, where the heck is the setting now??  I don't see anywhere on the dashboard/settings that gives you the option. 

I would appreciate any tips or feedback on how to fix this.  HELP...............

  1. Kim, I am still on the old post editor, because it works easier for me, but here is what I found. Go to your menu and click on design.Go to the top of the page and click on the tab called settings, and then click on comments and it has the little box that has where to put your comments.
    I hope this helps,

  2. I changed to pop-up because one of my lovely followers couldn't even post to my blog. So I changed that setting and took away the whole "you must prove you can read and spell cryptic letters" thing. I was hoping that would fix it...but I still don't know for sure. Bloomin' Blogger!

  3. I think it's been a nightmare lately. One reason I don't comment often anymore (besides having a busy summer) is because I have to set up a new account each time I do...what a pain! I have e-mailed blogger and google multiple times with no success...yuck! Good luck with your problem, Kim!!

  5. Hi Kim, this is what I do. I click on Setting, then on comment and then on Comment for placement. There is a button for embedded below post. I'm sure that you have it figured out already... You are just working too hard. JB

  6. Kim, go to settings, comments, comment form placement. There is a choice there that you can change to embedded.

  7. Kim: when you were helping me with blogger the other day, I ran into something somewhere (I actually thought you told me this) that said that one of the reasons people were having trouble leaving comments was because I had them embedded in the bottom of the posts, as you are trying to do now...so I switched to the pop up window, which I don't like. However, it, along with some other things you helped me with, seems to be working. Very annoying. I'm sorry you're having these problems.
