 * The comments.php file came with the wordpress theme I’m using – iNove. I’ve looked
   at this a few times, but unfortunately, I don’t know enough about how the code
   works to know if it’s wrong….
 * Any thoughts/ideas would be great. When I remove the query_posts from the template
   file above, the comments seem to work fine.
 * Here is the comments.php file:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/comment.js"></script>
   
       <?php if (!empty($post->post_password) && $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) : ?>
