 * Hello, currently my comment form has titles on Name, Email, Website, but not 
   actually comment. I am not good at PHP code, could you please show me how to 
   add the label comment above the comment box? Here is the code.
 * _[ Moderator note: Code fixed, please wrap code in [backticks or use the code button](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Single quotes do no work. ]_
