 * I am trying to work out why I don’t get the comment feature avaialble on any 
   new pages I create using the WordPress install I have done through my account
   with Dreamhost (using their 1 click install feature).
    On the admin, in the write
   page, I have ticked “allow comments” in the discussion drop down on the right
   of the form – but when I view the page from the live site there is nothing?! 
   How do I get the comment feature to be on the Pages?

 * You need to make a new ‘page’ template.
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates)
 * You make one template with the comments code included and put (for instance)
   `
   <?php /* Template Name: commentpage */ ?>
 * And you make another without the comment code (because sometimes no comments 
   is good):
    <?php /* Template Name: Nocommentpage */ ?>` Upload those to the theme
   directory and when you write a page you will have a choice of template.
 * That help?

 * Ummm, yeah… guess so – It is obviously more effort than I was expecting but if
   that’s the way to do it then I will have to do it as we really need this option.
   Thanks heaps for replying and the advice seems very considered witht eh choice
   of template idea – thanks.
    (apologies for the delay, have been out of the office
   since my post.

 * Maybe you can try the `<?php comments_template(); ?>` code at the end of your
   page’s script.
 * But this is for all pages.
