Need some help. I don't like having a pop-up window appear in order to post comments on my blog. How do I switch this so that when a user clicks on "Comments", it takes them to the the individual entry view? I understand that I need to add the "#post" tag so the browser automatically goes to the bottom of the page, but where...or how do I kill the pop-up method?

Also, how do I make my sidebar (on the right side) appear in individual entry view?

You make the link point to the comment-entry form at the bottom of your Individual Archive Page, instead of

CODE

<a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>

which executes a javascript to open a new window with target URL mt-comments.cgi.

But I still want the number of posts to appear next to "comments". I just want to link to the entry form in the individual entry. Will that be lost?

Thanks, Girlie.

What about my second question? Any advice?
