Blogger and Google+ Comments
Google+ commenting system is a latest released commenting system for Blogger platform. But there are some disadvantages of using Google+ comments only. Keeping this thing in eye, our expert web developers got idea of using Blogger and Google+ together with toggle. So, they created this new commenting system and shared it among all the Bloggers. So, Today I'm going to share that new commenting system with my loyal readers. For enabling only Google+ Comments, You used to enable it from Google+ page but here, you don't need to enable from there because we're going to use the coding of it. Before we get into the tutorial, let me explain something about this.

Blogger & Google+ Comments With Toggle

So this is a great idea of using Google+ and Blogger Commenting system together on your blog. The main thing that your readers will not be focused on using any specific commenting system. They can using any one or both of these system with the toggle system. This new system shows the Blogger and G+ icon on the header of the comment form which will help your readers to choose any comment form. That comment header doesn't shows when your post have 0 comments, It means your post must contain about 1 or 2 comments to enable G+ form on that post. 

Why We Should Use Both Commenting Systems ?

So Google+ comment form is must and the reason of using Blogger comments is due to some disadvantages of G+ comments.
