 * Hello. I’ve just got my first blog setup using the default theme. I’ve disabled
   the Comments feature but I would also like to remove the comments link as well.
   
   I did a search but I couldn’t find the correct answer. Hope someone can help.
 * PS: PHP newbie!! 🙂

 * If this WP 1.2 then look into your `index.php` file and remove the call to `<?
   php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)'));?
   >`

 * You will need to edit index.php, search.php and archive.php. Look in each for
   the line with:
 * `<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »') ?>`
 * Delete it. (Make a backup first, of course, I’ve not had but one cup of coffee.)
   Save. View in browser. Make further adjustments as desired.
 * In single.php, you will probably want to remove this line:
 * `You can follow any responses to this entry through the <?php comments_rss_link('
   RSS 2.0'); ?> feed.`
 * Alternatively, you could also delete everything between:
 * `<p class="postmetadata alt">`
 * and
 * `</p>`
 * (lines 20 through 50), and (optionally) line 55:
 * `<?php comments_template(); ?>`

 * I’m using WP 1.5
 * Thanks for the reply I’ll have a look tommorow. Hopefully this will sort it!!
