Edits : You must make one change to the code - In order for the gadget to display the posts for your blog you must add your blogger I.D.

To find your Blogger I.D. simply go to your layout page, posting page or any of the pages you access from your dashboard and copy your I.D. from the address bar at the top of the page.

Your Blog I.D. is a the number that appears in the URL - This is how your I.D. will be displayed :

Once you have your blog I.D. added save your template and the comment replies have been added.

If you need more help just ask, have you added the reply option ?
