# Comments.php doesn't seem to work…

 * I’d never worried about this, but a client wants to be able to configure the 
   fields for blog comments. But i can’t get comments.php to work.
 * For example:
    <textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”40″ rows=”10″ tabindex
   =”4″></textarea>
 * I change the “cols” and “rows” values, save, and reload a blog page and the Comment
   text area doesn’t change.
 * I admit that I’m a WYSIWYG guy using Artisteer, am I missing something? Here’s
   a link:
