 <body expr:class='&quot;loading&quot; + data:blog.mobileClass'>

Find any one of these codes and just after it paste the code given below,

<div id='fb-root'/> 
    

<script> 

    

    window.fbAsyncInit = function() { 

    

    FB.init({ 

    

      appId  : &#39;YOUR_APP_ID&#39;, 

    

      status : true, // check login status 

    

        cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the   session 

    

      xfbml  : true  // parse XFBML 

    

    }); 

    

  };

    (function() { 
    

    var e = document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;); 

    

      e.src = document.location.protocol +   &#39;//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js&#39;;

src='http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1'/> 

    

<div> <fb:comments  colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id' width='520'/></div> 

    

<div style='color:#fff; background-color:#3B5998;border: solid 1px #ddd; font-size:10px; padding:3px; width:510px;'>Facebook
 Blogger Plugin: Bloggerized by <b><a alt='blogger templates' 
href='http://www.inspirational-online.blogspot.com' style='text-decoration:underline;

href='http://www.twitter/abbasizaibi' style='text-decoration:underline;

  </b:if>
