Previously I have created a post in which I have shown how to install diqus comments in blogger, today I am back with a related post(comments). This post is to tell you how to enable or disable comments on specific posts and pages in blogger. As commenting is a great way to share experience and interact with users therefore comments are very important for a blog. A blog with more comments on posts/pages is more popular than a blog having less or no comments. In blogger commenting is allowed on every post and page you create but sometime you need to disallow comments for a post or page such as about, sitemap or contact page because there is no need of comments in about, contact, sitemap pages.
So In this post I will tell you how to enable or disable comments in a post/pages in blogger.
Why do I need to Disable comments?
There are several reasons to disable comments on either a post or on a page such as:
- If you are receiving spam comments on a post, you need to disable comments to get rid of spam comments.
- Some pages like contact us, about us, sitemap, disclaimer etc don't need comments.
- If a post is too old or if you wish not to receive any comment on a post you need to disable comments on that post.
