Blogger: How to Enable Two-level Commenting- Reply to Other's Comments

In the past, Blogger (blogspot.com) only provided single level commenting feature, which means the comments posted will be showing one after another , and there's no option to reply to a specific comment. Now you can.

New blogger provides two-level commenting ability, you can click on "Reply" button underneath a specific comment, and reply to it. Your replied comment will display right under the original comment.  Here's an example screenshot from Blogger Journey site:
