If you add the code below to your template, any comments left using Blogger will appear on the individual post pages (the pages you get when you click on a posts permalink). With HaloScan installed this will make copying and pasting comments into HaloScan a lot easier as they will be on the same page as the post, with the HaloScan comment link for the correct page available as well. Once you have finished manually moving the comments into HaloScan, just delete the code from your template and your good to go!

If you add this code to your template, your old comments will appear on the individual post pages, you might want to try and play about with where you insert the code, although best place to start is just before </Blogger>.

Blogger comments
The auto-install DOES NOT delete or lose any comments left using the Blogger commenting system, but you won't be able to access those comments through HaloScan.
Unfortunately HaloScan cannot read the Blogger system to access any of the comments left using the Blogger commenting system. You should be aware of this before installing HaloScan.
Blogger does not offer a way to backup or export comments, if you want to move comments from the Blogger system to HaloScan it is currently a manual cut and paste task.
Template backup
If you are not happy with the HaloScan installation, there IS a backup made of your Blogger template before the installation is run.
The backup can be located here: http://www.haloscan.com/members/autoinstall/backup/∞
And you will need to copy it from there, and paste it into the Blogger template editing screen.
BETA
Please note that this feature is still under BETA testing. There may be glitches or workarounds required and you use the auto-install at your own risk.
KNOWN ISSUES
1. Blogger sometimes seems to undo the changes to the template when you make a new blog post or delete a post after the auto-install. We suggest you do not post, or delete a post, for 24 hours.
2. Sometimes the auto-install doesn't work the first time. Re-running the auto-install one or two more times seems to work.
3. I think (THINK!) that the auto-install is only meant for people using a default Blogger template. If you have customised your Blogger template in ANY way it may not work. As ever, backup before you make any changes.

This sounds a bit involved but is easier than it sounds. To recap:
- Install HaloScan.
- Paste the code below into your template - BEFORE the </Blogger> tag.
- Republish your blog.
- Go to your blog and for every post that already has Blogger comments, click on the permalink to open the "post page".
- You will now see your post, below it any comments left using Blogger and below that the HaloScan comment link.
- Open the HaloScan comments and manually copy and paste the Blogger comments from the page into HaloScan.
- Repeat for every post with Blogger comments.
- When you are done, remove the code below from your template. Republish and your done. Bye bye Blogger comments, hello HaloScan!
The Code
