 * Hi everyone,
    I’m working on porting an HTML/CSS template to a WordPress theme
   for the first time. I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to web design. I know
   enough to get around though. I’m in the process of learning HTML/CSS/PHP by way
   of examining other code and some tutorials. The main trouble is with the comments.
   php file and styling it. I haven’t really looked at comments in WordPress themes,
   and I don’t have that much experience tweaking WordPress comments (as I do with
   the loop for instance).
 * Basically I am asking for general help. If you could post some links to help 
   me out that would be great.
 * **But also**, if you are also willing to do this quick task of setting up comments
   for me in my theme, please contact me and I may send you a small tip.

 * I would recommend just using the comments.php from the default theme, and then
   styling it as you need to style it.
 * Some other 2.7 converted themes can be found here: [http://svn.automattic.com/wpcom-themes/](http://svn.automattic.com/wpcom-themes/)
 * Those might help as examples if you need them.

 * Thanks Otto42,
    that’s a good idea. I’ll definitely check out some WP 2.7 compatible
   themes and take a look at the comments.php file.
