 * I’m integrating my website with WordPress and i’m a bit confused about the link`
   <a href="#respond">leave a response</a>` in single.php.
 * What/where is it supposed to do/go ?

 * To the comment form. Usually, it is placed at the bottom of a single post before
   the comments start… say you have 127 comments – clicking on the link above would
   take me directly to the comment form without a need to scroll through the 127
   comments.

 * ..er ok thanks, but why does it not go anywhere then? It’s the default theme 
   code.

 * I don’t know. I don’t deal with the default. But I know it works. Of course, 
   if you don’t have anything on the page, seemingly it doesn’t go anywhere.
 * The “target” is in the comments.php:
    `<h3 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h3>` it
   should jump there.

 * Thanks 😉 I’d accidentally removed the target in comments.php .
