Before anything, we need to make a back-up of our Blogger template so that if we do make any major errors, we can easily restore the original working template to our blog.

Hi There! Been trying to get my numbered comments back up all day, and finally realized I needed to disable my threaded comments first. Tried your tutorial and it did eliminate the threaded comments, but now it's adding extra comments (first comment says 1, second says 3, third says 5, etc). Do you happen to have any ideas for a fix for this? My blog is www.stitcherydickorydock.com, and I'd be happy to send you code, if that would help. If you are able to offer help, I'd be happy to offer a monetary donation!!
Hello Amy,
Search for this code in your template (make a backup first)
<script type='text/javascript'>
CommentsCounter=CommentsCounter+1;
document.write(CommentsCounter+".")
</script>
You should delete it. Then search for something like this and remove it also:
<span class='comm-num'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.url' title='Comment Link'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CommentsCounter=CommentsCounter+1;
document.write(CommentsCounter)
</script>
</a>
</span>
I hope this solved your problem (please tell me if it did not)
Thanks for visiting!
