 * Can you look at the test comments on the following 2 URLs and tell me what I 
   have to do to make the first one display like the second one?

 * You need to move the cite tags outside of the li tags:
 *     ```
       <li class="alt" id="comment-2">
       	<div class="quote">
       		<p>This is somewhere registered members...</p>
       		<div class="clear"></div>
       	</div>
       </li>
   
       <cite>Annie on <a href="#comment-2" title="">October 16th, 2009</a></cite>
       ```
   
 * not inside like they are currently:
 *     ```
       <li class="alt" id="comment-2">
       	<div class="quote">
       		<p>This is somewhere registered members...</p>
       		<div class="clear"></div>
       	</div>
       	<cite>Annie on <a href="#comment-2" title="">October 16th, 2009</a></cite>
       </li>
       ```

 * Sorry – I am not very experienced at this where do I find the cite tags. I looked
   in the style sheet and the comments php and that is obviously wrong – it would
   be great if someone can give me answer to this. Thanks Annie

 * The code should be in the comments.php file under the following line:
 *     ```
       <ol class="commentlist">
       ```
