   I am trying to show the number of comments on each post to the index page of http://www.palmettoscoop.com next to the author and the date.

   Here's the code as it is now:

   <div class="top_left_post">
   <?php c2c_get_recent_posts(2, "
   <div class=\"rightside_index_entry\"><h2>%post_URL%</h2>%post_excerpt%
   <div class='cpl_postmeta'>Continue Reading: %post_URL_short%
   By %post_author% | %post_date%</div></div>","34"); ?>
   </div>

   All I can find is the comments_number php to be used inside the loop. But it doesn't work here.

   How can I get the comment number to appear after %post_date% on the same line and in the same font, etc.

   Try adding this at the point you want your comment number to appear:
   

   <?php comments_popup_link(__('0'), __('1'), __('%'), '',__('-')); ?>

   This will show only the number of comments. You can read more about the function here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comments_popup_link

   Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction ...
