   I am using the Magazine Basic theme, and I can't seem to get the number of comments to appear on my front page. Since each post is long, I have a picture with the first few sentences posted on the front page of the site. Of course, if you click on the article, a reader would be able to see the whole thing...including the number of comments and what each person said.

   On the homepage, (the page with the first few sentences of each article,) I can't get the number of comments to show up. It says, "read more," but it doesn't say anything like "3 comments" or "no comments yet." How can I get it to say things like that???

   here is some example code - put it after the 'read more" </div> in your theme's index.php or home.php if that is what is used for front page.

   <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>

   Lindsey, what file did you add the code to? I could not see it in the index.php. The front page on your site looks just like what I'm looking for.
