• Go To Blogger > Layout > Add A Widget > HTML/JavaScript > Paste below code :

<div class="subscribe_outer">

<p>Subscribe Updates, Its FREE!</p>
<div id="btntEmailsub">
<form class="btntEmailform" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=FeedID', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=540');return true" method="post" action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify">
<input type="hidden" value="FeedID" name="uri">
<input type="hidden" value="en_US" name="loc">
<input class="emailText" type="text" value="Enter your email..." onfocus="if (this.value == " enter="" your="" email...")="" {this.value="" }"="" onblur="if (this.value == " ")="" ;}"="" onclick="value=''"name="email">
<input class="emailButton" type="submit" value="Signup Now!" title="">
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>

.subscribe_outer {
    background: url("https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsdaS3WtJlcjEr-V4Wq2q1-FK94jRzpbjfs-9MR7hLsV2Lx9bCxkdborrvrsbWrGgQCS9XNwdK-0i_wTsoJ_ZqL9b2RMVX_xAB5fR3NUAuYLd33G5V1In3PC2XWq80g0vVGpcMpOmqahg/s1600/color-chronicl.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    margin: 0 -10px;

.emailButton {

    cursor: pointer;
    font-weight: bold;

    padding: 10px 40px;
    margin: 0 0 15px;
    outline: none;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 70%;
}
input, textarea {
    font-family:'Lora',georgia,serif;
}
.subscribe_wrapper {
    color: #CCCCCC;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 20px;
}
.emailButton {
    width: 300px;
}
.emailButton {
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #30A146 0%, #249334 100%) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 0 none;
    border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 10px 40px;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
    width: 100%;
}
</style>

Now in above code change FeedID with your feed id.

For example if your feed url is feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft then WidgetCraft is your FeedID

• Now click on 'Expand Widget Templates' and search for <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> and put the following code after <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> :

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<div id='related-posts'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>

<script type='text/javascript'>
removeRelatedDuplicates_thumbs();
printRelatedLabels_thumbs(&quot;<data:post.url/>&quot;);
</script>
</div><div style='clear:both'/>
<!-- remove --></b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'><b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'/></b:if>

Note : If you can't find <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> code, you can also look for <data:post.body/> and put code on point 5 after <data:post.body/>

• Replace 20 with how many top commentators you want to appear in the cloud. 
• In alphabet Enter alphabet if you want to arrange the names alphabetically. Enter frequency if you want to arrange them by frequency (with the most frequent commentators on top). 
• cCloud Comment count (in bracket) is displayed by default. To remove it, just delete this line of code.

$(this).stop().animate({
