   Hey all,
   Thanks in advance for the help you'll probably be able to offer me for such a simple question! :)

   Anyways, how do I make the comments page of a post different from the index?

   Reason being:
   My index: http://www.pixelimplosion.com
   A post: http://www.pixelimplosion.com/index.php?p=11

   As you can see, the sidebar is on the comments page as well (which I don't want). So, how would I go about implementing a comments/individual post page that doesn't contain that sidebar?

   Thanks!

   Create a file called single.php in your theme directory, and WordPress will use that for displaying a single post.

   Take a look at the default theme shipped with WordPress for an example.

   Once the sidebar is removed, how do I change the css for the single.php page? Does WordPress recognize a style.css file as well?

   it uses the same css as that of your index.php what you can do is create a new set of classes and ids for single pages, and call those within the single.php file

   so if it says entry id= you can change this to entrysingle id = and call this in your css. Not sure if there is a better way, but I find having one stylesheet for everything works best.
