    Hi there,

    After some advice please if anyone can spare a minute or two.

    We're running a pub review website which is juts starting to take off. We're getting comments on some of our reviews, which is greeat, however, I am just wondering if theres anyway of making the comments look more like their part of the review?

    For example, on this page: http://www.thepubsofyork.com/reflex, the comment(s) almost appears as an after thought and could be missed relatively easily by a reader?

    Is there a way of making them more substantial? Or am i talkign rubbish?!

    Thanks.

    I think the comment styling makes it stand out quite well. You might want to change "XX Response(s) to [post name]" to use something like "XX Review(s) on [post name]" in comments.php (look for <?php comments_number([...];?>).

    I'd also consider moving

    to the top of the post and editing it so that the text works a little better with a review site. For example, is the time that the entry was posted on really important?

    Thanks very much, Esmi. I really appreciate it. I 'm a bit of a wordpress novice so hadn't even thought of your suggestions.

    Is there a way or removing;

    completely?

    I will try editing it for now but don't really think it's needed at all.

    Thanks again.

    Where would I amend the above text? Can't seem to find it anywhere?

    I've changed the 'Responses' but though. :-)

    It should be in your theme's single.php file and look something like:

    <p class="postmetadata alt"><small>This entry was posted on <?php the_date('l, F jS Y'); ?> at <?php the_time(); ?> and is filed under <?php the_category();?>. You can follow any responses to this entry through the <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">RSS 2.0 feed</a>. You can <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">leave a response</a>, or <a href="<?php trackback_url(); ?>">trackback</a> from your own site.</small></p>
