Someone else will have to give you help for the comments link issue, but to use your own design, you need to create a theme. Information on that is in the Codex.

Ah, yes. Okay, created my own theme, got it all working besides the comments. As well as the post URL.

Take a look. I don’t want the comments to popup, but the comments link alltogether is messed.
When I post under two categories, the links are messed up (see site).
What am I doing wrong? Missing? If someone could help, that’d be great.
What do you have the URL values set as?

Well, here is my current index.php code: <?php<br />
get_header();<br />
?><br />
<div id="centercontent"><br />
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><h2><br />
<?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<h3>by <?php the_author() ?> (<?php the_time() ?>,<br />
<?php the_date('d.m.y', '',''); ?>)
</h3><?php the_content(); ?> <h4>Posted in <a> | <?php link_pages('Pages: ', '', 'number') ?></a><a>"><?php comments_number('zero Comments','1 Comment','% Comments'); ?></a>
<?php comments_template(); ?></h4><?php endwhile; else: ?><br />
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?><br />
<?php endif; ?> <br />
</div><br />
<?php get_footer(); ?><br />
You don’t need to put anchor tags around the template tags, they make their own. Also change all of that to:
`Posted in | <?php link_pages(‘Pages: ‘, ”, ‘number’) ?><?php comments_number(‘zero Comments’,’1 Comment’,’% Comments’); ?>
Except shouldn’t the Posted in: be the category? And the comments# only shows the # of comments. Try something like this:
Posted in | <?php the_category(); ?><?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Zero Comments’), __(‘1 Comment’), __(‘(%) Comments’)); ?>

Now it’s using bullets instead of my assigned H4 tag?
Edit: Oh, and the code I posted above wasn’t correct because it didn’t post it all. I did have category, and all that.
Well you can put it back into an h4 tag.
Your links are still off. Did you check the URL values in the Options, as I stated earlier?

Thing is, they are in the h4 tags. But they aren’t working that way.
URL values as in: ” /archives/%post_id% ” ?
I fixed that, but it still gives a 404 when clicking on comments.
That’s the permalink, not the URL values. Go to Options, General and check both URL values.
YOur links look better now, but they are still 404. Is your htaccess writable, so that WP can update it? Or did you update it yourself?

URL values are both http://raisedbykubrick.com/.
Not sure if that is right or not.
I can’t find the htaccess. I don’t think ws_Ftp hides hidden files either.
Maybe you need to make one and upload it.

Okay. Then what? Blank file cmod at 666.
Where does it go? In my themes folder?
In the root of your WP install. Is WP installed in your root directory? (Becasue if it’s not, the WP URI and the blog URI in the Options shouldn’t be the same.)
