 * Hey! WordPress 2.0 stable running at [http://saartsemerging.org/](http://saartsemerging.org/)
 * I only have one post so far, and it has four comments on it (two trackbacks, 
   two direct comments). However, the link reads “0 comments” and when i click it
   is says “zero comments so far” just above my four comments! I amusing my own 
   theme, but I’m pretty sure the php (which I copied from another working theme)
   is right, and this is a wordpress problem:
    comments_popup_link(__(‘comments (
   0)’), __(‘comments (1)’), __(‘comments (%)’)); and comments_number(__(‘zero comments
   so far’), __(‘one comment so far’), __(‘% comments’));
 * thanks in advance for your help!
