 * Quick question
 * Could someone please tell me how to remove the comments feature, not comments
   people have made, but the actual feature of allowig comments. I have tuned it
   off but I wish to totally remove it from my blog. Is there an easy way without
   going into all the style sheets and php?
 * Regards,
    Ross

 * Chop all this out of index.php
    ` <div class="feedback">  <?php wp_link_pages();?
   > <?php comments_popup_link(__('0 Comments'), __('1 Comments'), __('% Comments'));?
   > </div> <!-- <?php trackback_rdf(); ?> --> </div> <?php comments_template();//
   Get wp-comments.php template ?>
 * Then delete the files at root with ‘comments’ in them.
 * That should do the trick.

 * Thanks, I tried that but for some reason it removed all the background to the
   posts and the sidebar?

 * Hmm.. that’s a structural error I guess, so maybe that last </div> shouldn’t 
   have come out. Try popping it back in ?

 * I don’t see any of those in index.php. Index.php in the theme folder just says
   get this and this and this. Index.php in the httpdocs just says:
 * <?php
    /* Short and sweet */ define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true); require(‘./wp-blog-
   header.php’); ?>
 * Which index.php has that code you’re talking about?
