 * All I can say is that this WP is dang fast. But the convertion of some pre-2.7
   themes takes some sweat when you really want to have threaded comments =)
 * I think I was able to convert this Blueprint theme to using it. However, I noticed
   that the markup for ol.commentlist goes like this–which I think is wrong(?)
 * ol.commentlist
    __ li.comment __ li.comment __ ul.children __ li.comment

 * Here’s what I have in my functions.php that pertains to this update:
 *     ```
       ...
       add_filter( 'comments_template', 'legacy_comments' );
       function legacy_comments( $file ) {
       	if ( !function_exists('wp_list_comments') )
       		$file = TEMPLATEPATH . '/legacy.comments.php';
       	return $file;
       }
       ?>
   
       <?php
           function blueprint_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
              $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>
              <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
                   <div id="div-comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
                       <div class="comment-author vcard">
                           <?php echo get_avatar(get_comment_author_email(), 48); ?>
                           <?php printf(__('<cite class="fn">%s</cite> <span class="says">says:</span>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?>
                       </div>
                       <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
                       <em><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.') ?></em>
                       <br />
                       <?php endif; ?>
   
                       <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata small"><?php printf(__('%1$s at %2$s'), get_comment_date(),  get_comment_time()) ?> (<a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ) ?>">#</a>)<?php edit_comment_link(__('(Edit)'),'  ','') ?></div>
   
                       <?php /*<p class="small"><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?> (<a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title="">#</a>) <?php edit_comment_link('edit','&nbsp;&nbsp;',''); ?></p>*/ ?>
   
                       <?php comment_text() ?>
   
                       <span class="reply small">
                           <?php comment_reply_link(array_merge( $args, array('add_below' => 'div-comment', 'depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth']))) ?>
                       </span>
                   </div>
               </li>
       <?php
           }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * And here’s what I have in my comments.php that pertains to the update:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
           <h2 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'Responses', 'Responses' );?></h2>
           <div class="small">
               <span class="feedlink"><?php comments_rss_link('Feed'); ?></span>
       		<?php if ('open' == $post-> ping_status) { ?><span class="trackbacklink"><a href="<?php trackback_url() ?>" title="Copy this URI to trackback this entry.">Trackback Address</a></span><?php } ?>
       	</div>
   
           <ol class="commentlist">
           	<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=blueprint_comment'); ?></ol>
           <div class="navigation">
               <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
               <div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
           </div>
       <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
       	<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) :
       		// If comments are open, but there are no comments.
       	else : // comments are closed ?>
       	    <p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>
       	<?php endif;
       endif; ?>
       ```
