Hide or Change the position of Comments link in blogger homepage

Blogger Comments
Naturally, in the default blogger template, a comment link with the amounts of comments on a blog post appears in the homepage just below every post excerpt, as the case may be. 
You can successfully, style and change the position or hide the link in your blog without affecting your blog design or view. 

Customising or Hiding the comments link

Before you begin doing this, back up your template "It's very important that you backup your template before you begin any customisation...

Click on Template on your dashboard then click on html.

Now search for the code below

<span class='post-comment-link'>
        <b:include cond='data:blog.pageType not in {&quot;item&quot;,&quot;static_page&quot;}                          and data:post.allowComments' data='post' name='comment_count_picker'/>      </span>


This code appears just once in a basic blogger template.
If you want to remove it, you can delete it totally but if you don't, you can cut the code above and fix it just below your post title in homepage. 
To do this, search for the code below
<div class='post-header-line-1'/>
this code appears twice, you need to place your code just below 
<div class='post-header-line-1'/> 
in the second appearance.

This is what the second appearance looks like. before and after pasting the comments link

<div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'/> </div> <!-- Then use the post body as the schema.org description, for good G /FB snippeting. --> <div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; data:post.id' expr:itemprop='(data:blog.metaDescription ? &quot;&quot; : &quot;description &quot;) &quot;articleBody&quot;'>
      <data:post.body/>
      <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats --> </div>



<div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'/><span class='post-comment-link'> <b:include cond='data:blog.pageType not in {&quot;item&quot;,&quot;static_page&quot;} and data:post.allowComments' data='post' name='comment_count_picker'/> </span> </div> <!-- Then use the post body as the schema.org description, for good G /FB snippeting. --> <div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; data:post.id' expr:itemprop='(data:blog.metaDescription ? &quot;&quot; : &quot;description &quot;) &quot;articleBody&quot;'> <data:post.body/> <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats --> </div>

Captchas are antibot checkers employed by websites to impede scam and spam. but these captchas are somewhat annoying and the latest and now most popular member of the captcha family, Google recaptcha, keeps popping up here and there in an absolutely unbearable and annoying manner. Solving captchas over the years have become somewhat harder and uncalled-for, especially with the spread and popularity of Google recaptcha. Solving captchas used to be fun and easier when users had to type in words and numbers as seen correctly but now reverse is the case as most websites have began using google recaptcha and recently, in order to have access to some websites, you need to prove that you are human! obnoxious I must say! To avoid getting stressed over selecting all roads, cars or signs, you could simply use Google Chrome browser. It's sickening that out of 10 sites you visit in a day, at...
