 * The archives page works fine but how can I remove the “0 comments” text after
   each article? I want to hide comments from the Archives page completely.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Try removing references to `<?php comments_popup_link();?>` in your theme’s archive.
   php file.

 * I removed everything referencing comments in archive.php but it still shows. 
   I’m using a Woothemes.com theme (Headlines) if that makes a difference.

 * Did you remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated 
   page? Or try emptying your browser cache? This should ensure that your web browser
   fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from
   your own cache.

 * Post up the part in archives.php where it is outputting the title date and then
   comments, it’s at the end of this.
