# Using single.php for different comment page

 * I am in the process of designing a new website for a friend and want the comments
   page to work differently than the index page. An example would be here, [http://www.morningsmiles.com/](http://www.morningsmiles.com/).
   I want the comment page to look like the main index page where the entry is listed
   above but I want the actual comment form and the comments to be listed below 
   in the pink portion of the page.
 * Are you still with me?
 * I’m assuming I could do this by using the single.php file and somehow calling
   that into use when people click on the comments link on the main index page, 
   but I’m unsure how this would work. If anyone could give some guidance, I would
   GREATLY appreciate it.

 * Well, I tried editing the comments.php file so it does not contain the same stuff
   and I tried deleting it entirely. Should I try something different with that 
   file?

 * I guess I’ll go poke around the forums to see if I can find an answer to this.
   The comments still aren’t showing up and I’m really at a loss.

 * Hm. If I uncomment the comment popup code, I get the pop up window and the comments
   are showing up, yet if I comment that back out, I still get nothing on my individual
   entry page…
