 * Do you have a comments-popup.php template in your theme?

 * ok, I figured this out finally.
 * Moveable Type defaults to this, and alot of people like it.
 * what I did was this:
    I put
 * <?php comments_popup_script(400, 500); ?>
 * in my head section of index.php
 * then I replaced my comments_link tag with comments_popup_link
    which I think 
   it already is in most themes.
 * You don’t need a comments-popup.php in your template for this to work. In fact
   I had to delete mine and just use the regular comments.php page from my theme,
   but I immagine you have to know themes well enough to create your own comments-
   popup.php for the display to look right.
    I ended up removing mine because it
   didn’t look right with the theme I chose. the simple-green theme. I thought i
   could just copy the comments.php to comments-popup.php, but it didn’t work. Not
   only did the script not display correctly, but it didn’t keep me logged in either,
   so I don’t know what the deal was, so I just removed it and changed it back to
   the old way. 🙁
 * anyway thats all there is to it.
