How to Use Backlinks on a Blogger blog

Bloggers usually post comments on other people's blogs. These comments can be seen on current blog posts. But, once you enter a new blog post, your comments from the previous blog post disappear. Where did they go? Well, they get archived along with the old blog post. In order to retrieve the old blog posts and their comments requires you to provide links (called backlinks) to allow others to see them.

Instructions

1. Go to blogger.com.

2. Log in.

3. Click on SETTINGS.

4. Click on COMMENTS.

5. Scroll down to BACKLINKS.

6. Click on SHOW.

7. Scroll down to BACKLINKS DEFAULT FOR POSTS.

8. Select NEW POSTS HAVE BACKLINKS.

9. Click SAVE SETTINGS.
