 * I’d start by making a copy of index.php, then remove references to `comments_popup_link`
   and add `<?php comments_template();?>` just before the `<?php endwhile; ?>` of
   the main Loop.
 * That should get you started with a basic single.php file – after which it’s just
   a case of tweaking it to suit your tastes.
