<b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</p>
</b:if>

Step 4: Now find the </body> tag and paste the following script just before it :

<script src='http://bandofgirls.googlepages.com/smiley.js' type='text/javascript'/><noscript><a href="http://anshuldudeja.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Blogger Widgets</a></noscript>

Step 5: That’s all. Now save your template and from now onwards you can use smileys in your blogger comments and enjoy.
