 * Is there a simple way to add the total amount of comments on the whole website
   on the frontpage?

 * Simple is far too subjective ;’)
 * From wp-admin/index.php:
    `$numcomms = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $
   wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '1'"); if (0 < $numcomms) $numcomms =
   number_format($numcomms);

 * lol, thanx, I should have known that….
 * EDIT: whoops, I tried that and came to the conclusion that this was not what 
   I ment.
 * What I mean is total amount of comments on my blog (so not per post…)…and as 
   far (I’m not a widget 😉 ) as I can see, this only calls the nr of comments on
   a post…

 * ooops, lol, I’m a bit sleepy I guess. Thanx Yosemite, I should have seen that
   it already is mentioned in the dashboard file in the admin area. I’ll just do
   copy/paste!
