I would like to change the word "Comments" on my posts to something else. Having searched blogger help which told me this -
| Quote: | Note: This article is for classic templates. If you are using Layouts, you can simply find the <data:postCommentMsg/> tag and replace it with whatever text you like.
By default, Blogger comments include the <$BlogItemCreate$> template tag, which prints out a link that says "Post a Comment." This is pretty easy, but doesn't let you customize the text, which you might want to do if your blog is in a language other than English, for instance. So here's a way to get around this.
Let's start by taking a look at the code created by the <$BlogItemCreate$> tag. This is the code that gets printed to your blog when you publish:
Post a Comment
The 'XXX' and 'YYY' here represent the ID numbers which get inserted automatically for the appropriate blog and post. So what we're going to do here is replace the <$BlogItemCreate$> tag with this code, and then modify it as follows:
1. Find your blog ID and put this into the code in place of "XXX." This is the same for all comments on a single blog, so you can just enter the number directly, without needing to use a special template tag.
2. Put the <$BlogItemNumber$> tag in place of "YYY." This will automatically use the correct post ID number for each post.
3. Change "Post a Comment" to say anything you like, such as "Dejame un comentario."
The result will look something like this:
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g? blogID=1234567&postID=<$BlogItemNumber$>">Dejame un comentario
Before and after shots:

This is exactly what I want to do, yet I cannot seem to find any of this stuff in the code on my blog.
Sigh. Any idea why this is, or am I being simple again?
Thanks for any help

Hello Beamin2
Well those tags are in the template file, or XML file, you will need to download your template file edit those tags and then re-add the template theme back to blogger with your modifications...
When you login to blogger, and select templates and then edit near the top should be an option to download it, so you can make modifications...
Now once you download it open it with Notepad and be sure to make a backup copy just in case something goes array!
Once done close the file and save it and select upload to blogger on that same page, once its uploaded be sure to republish your blog for the changes to take affect!
Good luck
Shawn
