   Hi,

   I'm sure this question go asked before, and I found some answers too, but my php skills are still weak and I didn't get it to work.

   My site is running WordPress Version 2.5.1, and on my homepage I would like to display the total number of comments posted, and as someone posts a comment the number of comments should change on the homepage too.

   something like this

   <h2>
   <p>Over 144 comments collected</p>
   </h2>

   The "144" is the number of comments.

   Pleas keep it simple, because I just started to learn php.

   To get an better idea what I'm trying to do just go to http://www.NOTRogers.com

   Thank you for your help

   Use something like this:

   <?php comments_popup_link('0 comments', '1 comment', '% comments', 'commentslink', 'Comments Closed'); ?>

   if you insert this into your post page, within The Loop, it will show something like:

   0 comments
   or
   1 comment
   or
   50 comments
   or
   comments closed

   .. depending on the situation. The text can be customised by changing the text within the example I gave above.

   Hope this helps!
