It is auto generated box linked to the wordpress account profile. Blogger too has created such thing for it's users.

Before working in blogger first you must know that The About Story Written In Google+ will be displayed under your Blogger Posts after activating this Author Profile feature.

Blogger Brings Update To It's Very Old Comment System

Blogger has both the aspects of pros and cons about it. As blogger is perfect so it is imperfect too. Every single person using bloggers have noticed this that there are some very good things in blogger and at the same time there is also some very bad points about it which can annoy your upto a certain extent that sometime you may opt to leave Blogger forever.

Well we don't get annoyed upto that extent ever using Blogger, because we believe that as hard as we work to make Blogger a better place, Blogger also works & strive hard to improvise itself. And we have seen it also in the past few months as Blogger has gifted us with it's admirable works i.e. bringing it's own Contact-form, updating the HTML Editor.

Now very recently Blogger has updated it's old dated comment system with a new feature i.e. Comment Follow feature.

Blogger has also improvised the old look of Comment i-frame and gave it a classy look. You can see it in the image below

Old Comment i-frame vs New Comment i-frame

Old Comment i-frame possessed very old and boring look.

New Comment i-frame has been brought up with a very new and classy look.

Old Comment system don't give Comment-Follow option.

New Comment system provides Comment-Follow Up System.

You can update yourself regularly with all the comments of your favourite blog by opting to Notify me. Before this ,such feature was only available on some third party comment system like Commentluv, Disqus comment system. Blogger has done a wonderful job by adding this feature to it's comment system.

Still there's a lot to discover about Blogger. As soon as Blogger brings something new we will track it for you guyz. Till then Happy Blogging.
