 * How can I amend my template to show comments. In English, please. Very. Slowly.
   
   My eyes glaze over when I see ‘code’, ‘css’, ‘plug-ins’, etc. I just type and
   post.

 * it depends on where you want to show comments
    most themes show them on the single
   post view by default

 * Yes, I want to show comments under each single post. But it’s not happening.
   
   Not by default, not by intention, not by anything. Help, please!

 * I see comments under the single post

 * do you mean you want them on the front page or other Pages?

 * No, just like that. Maybe it’s the way I’m approving? If I just look at [http://www.onetoughcookienyc.com/blog](http://www.onetoughcookienyc.com/blog)
   I don’t see the comments. So, I guess the question is, how to approve comments
   and have that ‘look’ be the most recent one that opens up under that url? Make
   sense?

 * when you create a post it gives the option for comments and pignbacks make sure
   comments is checked.

   > I don’t see the comments
 * that is because the comment code is only in `single.php` – not `index.php`
    if
   you want comments on front page, copy the comment code from `single.php` and 
   add it to `index.php` right after `the_content` call

 * And, where do I go to find these codes? I WARNED you I wasn’t good at this (seriously,
   thanks for taking the time to help me).
 * Step-by-step.

 * you can do it from the wordpress editor or download the files – adjust and re
   upload
 * the files are in your theme folder you have activated at the moment if you want
   to download
 * in editor
    Appearance – Editor then click on file you want to work with
 * if not comfortable doing this, email me and I’ll do it
    srb333 at att dot net
   make it look like a real email add.

 * Am I going into “add themes”, then checking off Threaded Comments, then picking
   the style I like to install?
 * Am I even warm?

   it is.

 * Pemission codes have been changed. Now, can you walk me through adding the codes
   from the page to the index again? I can’t seem to do that by myself.
 * Thank you
