As you may see, I gave skinning this place another try. And as you can also see, I failed, as I now use a premade skin that I altered slightly. (Oh well.. at least I got this skin installed..)
If anybody knows what to add where so I have the x comments under a post on the index as Kudrik / K2 has (the default with the blue header), please leave a comment. 🙂
I would make my own theme if I could, but there are a few reasons why I won’t:
- I suck at anything graphical, including skinning
- the WordPress skinning system and I don’t seem to be able to get along
- Premade things take less time and I’m lazy
- I really really really can not make decent layouts and stuff anyway; I suck
Yea, that about it…
At least its different from the default theme =P
Not sure why I didn’t comment on this earlier (yes, I do lurk around and read your blog through RSS :shifty:).
Well, i’m not sure where exactly to put it, as it will differ depending on the theme, and I couldn’t looks at a copy of this theme to check (the site won’t load… same as many sites have been doing today :ermm:).
But what you basically need put in is this code:
<?php comments_number("No comments", "1 comment", "% comments"); ?>That’ll show something like ‘1 comment’ or ‘5 comments’ wherever it’s placed.
And if you want to make that into a link to the comments, just use this:
<a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number("No comments", "1 comment", "% comments"); ?></a>It should be obvious where that goes. It’s usually before the
<?php endforeach; ?>, and after the<?php the_content(); ?>Hope that’s what you wanted. In case you need it in future, the WordPress Codex‘s Design and Layout section, particularly the Template tags bit, is excellent for stuff like this 🙂
Nice theme BTW, it looks good. Nice and easy to read aswell 🙂
Oh, forgot to mention:
I must be a complete n00b at code/PHP etc. or something, because I find making layouts and designs for WordPress dead easy somehow. And yet, it seems that people that are good with code (not me :P) hate WP’s templating system. Seems strange :S
