How to display total post and comment count on blogger

In this tutorial i will show you how we can print out the total post and comment count of your blog using our blogs feed so first we need to add these two lines of javascript code which asks blogger to return our feed in JSON format which is a set of javascript objects. Don't forget to replace the red code with the URL of your blog

<script src="http://www.lawnydesigns.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=numposts"></script>
<script src="http://www.lawnydesigns.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=numcomments"></script>

in the code above we have asked blogger to return our JSON feed to two javascript functions named numcomments and numposts so now we will create those two functions to print out the total post and comments count


<script style="text/javascript">function numposts(json) { document.write('This blog has ' + json.feed.openSearch$totalResults.$t + ' posts'); }function numcomments(json) { document.write(' and ' + json.feed.openSearch$totalResults.$t + ' Comments'); }</script>

now if you paste the two sets of code together into an html/javascript widget in the following order
<script style="text/javascript">
function numposts(json) {
document.write('This blog has ' + json.feed.openSearch$totalResults.$t + ' posts');
}
function numcomments(json) {
document.write(' and ' + json.feed.openSearch$totalResults.$t + ' Comments');
}
</script><script src="http://www.lawnydesigns.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=numposts"></script><script src="http://www.lawnydesigns.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=numcomments"></script>

and save you should see something like my result below
