You may be asked to verify your account, choose any of the verification options to complete the verification.

Using "CTRL+F", search for the code <body> OR <body expr:class='&quot;loading&quot; + data:blog.mobileClass'> and paste the code highlighted below directly under it and save the template.
Replace the APPID in the code above with your APP ID provided from Facebook which you copied in Step 1 and save the template.
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=141084445958514&amp;xfbml=1"></script>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<p align='left'><a href='http://www.ogbongeblog.com'><img alt='' class='icon-action' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkk7zfP-SKdiashGKNxDGr9UAvry2x4ujxrWygcTnU193Tt6XJOPuJ6_ffL22jrUJdiBxKegBRk2ZkX6wIeWQApoNOqb3ntOuOEUtpF1x2h53mGr9VIsdE8wiPp29LyXsvcWaQ5tW2bKk/s320/commentpix.png'/></a></p>
<fb:comments expr:href='data:post.url' numposts='10' width='500'/>
</b:if>

You can adjust the WIDTH to any size you want (@ 500 ok ).

SAVE your template and view one of the POSTS on your blog. You should see the comment form with your picture embed, if your are on facebook.

That's all. SAVE your template and view your blog.


How about the Notifications?
You must add some codes to your blog HTML so you can be receiving facebook notifications and also to be able to moderate the comments.

Directly above it, copy and paste the code below.



<meta content='100000926733256' property='fb:admins'/>
<meta content='222138191171956' property='fb:app_id'/>

The 100000926733256 is the id.
SAVE your template.

What about the default comment form by Blogger?
The default comment form could to be deleted or leave it, I recommended that you leave it because some readers may may like to use both, so you have two ways of getting replies about a post.
