 * Hi,
 * I have build my own wordpress template,but cant seem to enable comments on posts.
 * I have added <?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?> within the 
   loop but there isn’t a add comment button after any posts.
 * I have enabled comment within the dashboard.
 * What am i doing wrong?
 * Thanks.
 * Tom

 * Do you have a comments.php that contains all the code for the comments?
