I have an archived story on my site that is very popular and is getting many new responses every day. It is growing so large that a single-page format with all the comments listed is getting pretty time-consuming to load.

Is there any easy way to break down the comments into multiple pages with some sort of comment-chain navigation bar at the top or bottom of the page? Similar to how a message board breaks comment pages into 25 or 50 comments per page.

Any help?


for reference here are the large topics on my site:

Paginate, maybe? Requires your pages to be parsed for PHP (not necessarily with the .php extension).

I bet you never thought you'd get into this when you started blogging!
