Log in to Blogger. Go to Layout > EditHTML. Check Expand Widget Templates. Add the codes highlighted in red at the right places as shown in the code given below.



<dl id='comments-block'>

<script type='text/javascript'>var CommentsCounter=0;</script>

<b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>

<div class='' expr:id='data:comment.id'>

<dt expr:class='"comment-author " + data:comment.authorClass' expr:id='data:comment.anchorName'>
<a expr:name='data:comment.anchorName'/>
<b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl'><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
<data:commentPostedByMsg/>

<span class='comment-number'>
<a expr:href='"#comment-" + data:comment.id' title='Comment Link'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CommentsCounter=CommentsCounter+1;
document.write(CommentsCounter)
</script>
</a>
</span>

</dt>
<dd class='comment-body'>
<b:if cond='data:comment.isDeleted'>
<span class='deleted-comment'><data:comment.body/></span>
<b:else/>
<p><data:comment.body/></p>
</b:if>
</dd>
<dd class='comment-footer'>
<span class='comment-timestamp'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.url' title='comment permalink'>
<data:comment.timestamp/>
</a>
<b:include data='comment' name='commentDeleteIcon'/>
</span>
</dd>

</div>

</b:loop>
</dl>

Add the code given below to the CSS area in your template, right before ]]></b:skin>:

.comment-number {
float: right;
display: block;
width: 50px;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-top: -35px; /*comments-counter position*/
text-align: right;
font-family: 'Century Gothic','Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
font-size: 30px;
font-weight: normal;
}

/*since the numbers are actually links, we need to force the color properties*/

.comment-number a:link, .comment-number a:visited {
color: #445566 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}
.comment-number a:hover, .comment-number a:active {
color: #FF9933 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}

Save Template.
