Please know in advance that each code template from each other can be different is the same, if this tutorial is not the same as the existing code in your template, then you can experiment yourself with this code.

Ok, we just practiced how to modify the comment box like the one in the blog irnanto-ilmupengetahuan.blogspot.com.

1. Login to blogger with your ID.
2. Click Layout.
3. Click the Edit HTML tab.
4. Click Download Full Template. Please backup your template first (important).
5. Put a check / tick the little box next to Expan templates Widget.

6. Wait a few moments when the process is underway.
7. Find the code in the CSS like this:

#comments h4 {
margin:1em 0;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.4em;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:.2em;
color: $sidebarcolor;
}

#comments-block {
margin:1em 0 1.5em;
line-height:1.6em;
}
#comments-block .comment-author {
margin:.5em 0;
}
#comments-block .comment-body {
margin:.25em 0 0;
}
#comments-block .comment-footer {
margin:-.25em 0 2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:.1em;
}
#comments-block .comment-body p {
margin:0 0 .75em;
}
.deleted-comment {
font-style:italic;
color:gray;
}

8. Remove / delete the code above and change with the code below:

}

9. See Toward the bottom, and look for code like this

<b:includable id='comments' var='post'>
<div class='comments' id='comments'>
<a name='comments'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<h4>
<b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>
1<data:commentLabel/>:
<b:else/>
<data:post.numComments/> <data:commentLabelPlural/>:

</h4>

<b:if cond='data:post.commentPagingRequired'>

11. 11. Click the Save Template button.
12. 12. Done. Please see the results.

Above code of course is not absolutely have to like it, if you are slightly familiar with css, then you can create more. Especially on the width of the comment, you must adjust the width of your template comment box. Little guidance, to change the width of koemntar box above, you only replace the value of its width, for example: width: 548px; in change so width: 500px; or how it fit with your template.

Good luck.
