Blogger Magazine Templates

When JS-Kit acquires Haloscan I have discontinued using their services because of feeling uneasiness about their services, specially when integrating this into a template. Unlike Haloscan before, there no complication of copying and pasting, it automatically update your comments.

But since Wordpress have also shifted in using this comment platform from their typical embedded comment form and they added gravatars which makes this more fitted to the subscribers, I think it would also be the right time to review it and incorporate this to my next template.

Up to now, I can't find a detailed explanation on how to install JS-Kit Comment. And I hope this article of mine can help those who are looking for a step-by-step guide.

STEPS:

1. Sign-up for free account to JS-Kit (http://js-kit.com)



2. Fill-up the require field.


3. Log-in to your new account.

4.Select "Comment" from the rest of the services they offer.

5. Click "INSTALLATION" button.

6. Under Pricing, select "JS-Kit Free".


7. Again Select "Installation" from the menu.


8. Click "add new site".


9. select the code(universal code).

10. Log-in to your Blogger Acount.

11. Go to Lay-out, Edit HTML.

12. Click "Download Full Template" button.

13. Using control F in your keyboard, search this code:
