 * I’m trying to get the comments popup link to show on a single post.
    I’m using
   this:
 * `<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?
   >`
 * But have read that this was not designed to be used on a single post.
 * My question – is there an alternative?
 * I want to give ppl the ability to comment, but don’t want to clutter the post
   with a form – just a link that pops up the form

 * use this as a workaround. works wonders for me:
 * `<a>#comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments');?
   ></a>`

   1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></a>`

 * Jill, please try that again as I only get my url with #comments added at the 
   end.. do you get a popup window with this code?
