 * Aha. I discovered my problem when looking at another custom theme.
 * I did not have
 *     ```
       <?php comment_class(); ?>
       ```
   
 * in my li tag in the comment code in functions.php. I did find it odd that no 
   class (most of my styles are id based) was being applied to any comment.

 * I can’t provide a direct link because I’m trying to get everything done (or rather
   a much bigger portion of material than the current design) before uploading it
   all.
 * Here is a screenshot of before I allowed for paging.

   Now, only the top style appears.
 * Alternatively here is a zip file containing most of what I think drives my layout.

 * Note I am using a /category/postname/ permalink format, and the “blog” root is
   set to go to the site root rather than /updcmc/
 * Apologies if this is a problem this way.

 * I thought of that lying in the dark last night, and was all “oh man I’m stupid”.
 * However that made no difference. _Huh?_
