    Despite having the Allow Comments option checked in the Discussion drop-down on the Write Page screen, there is no place for readers to comment on the resulting page. (I am using WordPress 2.0.3).

    Many themes leave that out. However, if you look at a typical single.php in a theme (or glance at the Default theme’s) you’ll see the code that you’ll need to add to your theme’s page.php file.

    I am using the WordPress Default 1.5 theme. Is this not “the Default?”

    Yep.
    Out of date, but indeed the default. As you noticed, single.php has stuff for comments in it while page.php doesn’t. But you can change that.

    Could you help with that? I’m certainly no PHP expert and my first attempted copy and paste caused some failures. Still learning. ‘Tis fun. Thanks.

    I figured it out. I had to put the comment check inside the while. Thanks. You can close this one out.
