 * A good starting point will be using and interacting with `WP_Query` [http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
 * Hope this helps!

 *  get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘page’ );
 *  if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
    comments_template(); } endwhile;?
