 * This is what my comments_number code looks like at the moment:
 * >  <?php comments_number(‘No comments’, ‘1 comment’, ‘% comments, ‘number’); ?
   > >
 * I want the output to be linked to the very first comment on the single page, 
   _if_ there are any comments. This means that all outputs, except ‘no comments’,
   will be linked.
 * How do I go about doing that?

 * `<?php
    if(comments_number(0, 1, ‘%’) > 0) { #popup }else{ echo ‘No comments’}?
   >` Something like that?
