Advantages of Facebook Comments in Blogger
Facebook is the most viral social networking site, so it might be the reason why one should always think about making use of all the features that it provides to the publishers and developers. However, I would not push anyone to start using Facebook comments without knowing its advantage. Every site has their own priorities and concerns but for the sake of an ongoing argument, let us first take a look at the following pros of adding Facebook Comments in Blogger.Whenever someone likes or reply to their comment, Facebook sent an automatic notification to user. The author or other users might also receive the same notification if they are following the topic.
Unlike Google+ and others, it provides multiple commenting options. For example, if someone is not a Facebook user then he can use his Yahoo, AOL or Outlook id to comment on your website, so your visitor never gets locked out.
Whenever a registered user is caught spamming, Facebook automatically treats him with a security code while the rest of the loyal visitors keep on commenting without any worry. If that spammer didn’t even stop then, Facebook holds the authority to disable him from commenting.
Disadvantages of Facebook Comments in Blogger:
You are totally depending upon Facebook. Though it is a reliable brand, but sometime minor glitches happen. What would you do if Facebook suffers some down time. Since, all the scripts you are using is hosted on Facebook, so you never know when the comments get disappear.Nonetheless, it is unlikely to happen because Facebook is a well-known site with quality backup server. However, you never know what would be the next thing to come.
How to Add Facebook Comments in Blogger:
Step#1: Creating a New Application:The First thing you need to do is to create a separate App ID for your application and that can be done easily through Facebook Developer. Login to your Facebook account and go to Facebook Developers website. This places allow Developers to manage their apps hosted at Facebook, click on Create New App button.
A Small pop out will appear which would ask you to insert little information about your application. There are two fields, write the App name and press the continue button.

Step#2: Installing Facebook Comments in Blogger:
The First thing you need to do is to Login into your Blogger account. Now from the dashboard go to Template >> Edit HTML and search for the following highlighted HTML attribution. (Quick Tip: This code is usually present at the first lines of your template’s coding).
<html ...... xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
Now just next to the highlighted code (as shown above) add xmlns:og='http://ogp.me/ns#'. Once everything is down, it would somewhat look like this. (Quick Tip: Make sure you leave a space between these two codes).
<html xmlns:og='http://ogp.me/ns#' ...... xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
Now you need to search for the <body> Tag. After finding it, just below it paste the following code. Make sure to replace the YOUR_APP_ID with your Facebook application id.
<div id="fb-root"></div><script>window.fbAsyncInit = function() {FB.init({appId : 'YOUR_APP_ID',status : true, // check login statuscookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the sessionxfbml : true // parse XFBML});};(function() {var e = document.createElement('script');e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';e.async = true;document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);}());</script>
Now you need to add Facebook Open graph Meta Tags, We have written a detail tutorial on it that can be viewed from here. However, search for </head> and just above it paste the following code. Make sure to replace the YOUR_APP_ID with your Facebook application id.
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR_APP_ID" />
Step#3: Adding Facebook Comments in Blogger:
Last step is to implement Facebook Comments using the HTML Code. In the template, search for <b:includable id='comment-form' var='post'> and just below it paste the following HTML Coding. Incase, you are unable to find <b:includable id='comment-form' var='post'> then you can paste it just below <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'></div> (Make sure you repeat the process because there are more than 1 tags on you theme).
<b:ifcond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><divstyle='padding:20px 0px 5px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;'><scriptsrc='http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1'/><div><fb:commentscolorscheme='light'expr:href='data:post.url'expr:title='data:post.title'expr:xid='data:post.id'width='550'/></div></div></b:if>
Note: You can also customize the widget of the comment box by adjusting 550 the numbers in the below code.

Link for my Test blog
http://0987blog.blogspot.co.il/
It is right after the </head>
Are you following the instructions correctly?
Should the app ID go between the single inverteds? or should I get rid of it just put the app ID (a series of numbers)?

Error parsing XML, line 5, column 4: Element type "head" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"
please what is the solution ?
That has something to do with your template not FB Comments
Hello,
I followed the steps, but nothing happens. Can you tell me if this facebook comments box it`s in conflict with disqus, which is currenty installed on my blog?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please make sure that your Facebook APP is not the the "StandBox"
Thanks
Please be sure you are closing the tags properly
Just Replace YOUR_APP_ID with your ID no need to remove anything elese. Hope that was simple! Cheers!
Please makesure your FB APP is not in the sandbox! Thanks!
Hi, i follow all the step but still the same nothing happen :(
http://kentaxxx.blogspot.com/
Hello, first lof all this is really I was looking for. Well, I followed the step and checked if my app in sandbox or not. Everything is okay but nothing appears on my blog :/
Can you help me?
http://boomersmag.blogspot.com/2013/09/yeni-alsveris-deneyimi-beacon.html
Have you inserted your Website URL? in the APP. Please check
Please makesure you have entered your Website URL in the APP Settings
I have the same problem with Hakan
For some reason FB doesnt allow me to add website url in the app
You can do that by editing your APP. If you need insturctions let me know
Can I clarify that we should include the blog name in the field "Website with Facebook Login"?
Blogger sometimes shows the blogspot blogs with either .com or with country extension, does it matter which one we use?
No, You just need to enter you BLOG URL one time. No need to add URL in that box.
No result for me. I see nothing.
What is Sandbox? It is Enabled ...what should i do then...please describe it clearly
Hi, I tried really hard, but it did not work. Sandbox mode is disabled, html codes are at the proper place and fine,but may I ask, where the URL should be put on Facebook Apps page?
1.) To the Basic info at FB page Settings -> Basic tab? (App domains)
2.) Or below that, to "Select how your app integrates with Facebook" -> after checking "Website with Facebook Login" or "App on Facebook"?
Thanks in advance!
I Think you are not pasting the code correctly in you template. Because in blogger template there are two <data:post.body/> tags so you need to paste the code mention in the step#2 below all the <data:post.body/> you found.
Also provide your blog url
You are applying it on Blogger? then you can follow our instructions mentioned above.
Go here https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
Select your APP >> Edit Setting
You will see
Sandbox Mode:
Enabled Disabled
Disable it and "Save"
Make sure, its not in Sandbox it should be disable
Make sure you are pasting the code. Because in blogger template there are two <data:post.body/> tags so you need to paste the code mention in the step#2 below all the <data:post.body/> you found.
Also provide your blog url
i will try
Thank u for the easier steps..I followed it and saved, No error message but the COMMENT BOX is not appearing on my blog posts at all.

Hei. I did everythink and it didn't work. There was no error...but i still don't have the facebook comment ...
Make sure your APP is not in Sandbox.
But comment box is displaying only for some selected post, not for all.
I can't understand why it is not displaying.
Help....
Blog URL = www.funwithtricks.bl.ee
I checked your site, Works just fine. Cheers!
What about Tumblr?
I applied your tutorial except that I want it place after the last paragraph of my post and I found a way to do it. But there seems to be a problem. My "Also post on Facebook" is NOT AUTO-CHECKED. Sometimes, it's ALREADY CHECKED and sometimes it is NOT. I also tried to comment in it using another Facebook account. After clicking "Comment", it will then display "This comment has not yet been published to Facebook. Publish comment" How do I make this automatic? I mean no confirmation required.
Here's the link to my blog: www.effectivenetworkingtips.blogspot.com
I hope you would reply as soon as possible. Thank you.
How to fix "This comment has not yet been published to Facebook. Publish Comment" without clicking "Publish Comment"? What I mean after clicking "Comment", it should automatically be posted in their timelines?
Yes it will post your comment on your Timeline.
hello. i've tried it an it is working fine, However, i removed it because it's showing "like page icon on every post" in homepage. Can we possibly remove the like page? if so, pls let me know. Thanks! my blog is mahubya.blogspot.com
