 * No one can leave a comment on my page. I’m getting an Error 404 message when 
   you click on the ‘leave a comment’ link.
 * Help?

 * My page is giving me an error message *within* the page. I can still see my header,
   links, etc. but where my comments would come up I see “Error 404 – Not Found”.

 * On your Options > Permalinks page, what settings have you got? If you’ve got 
   something in the ‘custom structure’ box, what does it say?
 * Have you edited your theme in at all?
 * Top tip by the way, try using the <!–more–> tag so your main page isn’t so massive–
   pages chock full of pictures take a while to load y’see! 😉

 * hm… I don’t have an Options > Permalinks page. ? I do use a theme from Tofurious.
   Wasn’t aware that would wreck my comments though.

 * Sorry, I meant Settings > Permalinks. (it was about 1am when I wrote that!)
 * If you use your default theme, does it work ok?
