 * I’d like to add another column to the page [here](http://www.pinkfloydtabs.com/guitar-tabs)
   called “Comments” (next to “Title, Rating”, “Views” and “Notes”) and then next
   to each song, it will say “0” or “1” or however many comments are on that tab
   page/wordpress post.
 * I found a wordpress function called “get_comments_number” that I think will do
   this, but I can’t get it to work.
 * Here is the code I tried, but it didn’t work:
 * <?php $commentscount = get_comments_number(278); echo $commentscount; ?>
 * With “278” being an example of one of the posts’ ID…
 * Is that not the right code to use? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
