Blogger Tips
If you need a fresh style to the threaded comments of a standard Blogger template, here's a simple CSS that will help you to apply a different background, make your avatars rounded, add a border with rounded corners and a triangle which is actually an HTML entity to get that speech bubble look on your comments.
You can see a demo here.
To have this style in your comments, all you need to do is to paste the below code inside the CSS part of the template, which is between <b:skin> and </b:skin>
Step 1. From the Blogger Dashboard, go to Template and press the Edit HTML button
Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box:
Step 3. Paste or type the following tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it
- #555 to change the text comments color;
- #EEEEEE to change the color of the shadow around comments;
- 4px solid #EEEEEE to change the border width (4px), style (solid) and color (#EEEEEE) around comments;
- 1.190em to change the comments font size;
- to change the arrow color, replace the #EEEEEE value from color: #EEEEEE;
- to change the border width (7px), style (solid) and color (#EEEEEE) around avatars, modify this part: 7px solid #EEEEEE;
- to change the avatars' size and roundedness, change the 60px value;
Here is a tool from that may help to pick your favorite color:
Color Code Generator (after you choose a color, copy the hex value)
Step 5. Finally, click on the Save template button... and you're done!
