Okay, I think I figured this out, somewhat. The only problem I’m having is that the actual comments aren’t showing up on my individual pages.
Example: https://www.morningsmiles.com/2006/06/12/morning-smiles-is-coming-soon/
Here’s my code:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”container”>
<div id=”top”>
<div id=”blog”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><img src=”https://morningsmiles.com/wp-content/themes/pinkcosmos/images/cosmo2.png”> ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class=”entrybody”>
<div class=”pad”>
<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
</div> <!– end PAD –>
</div> <!– end ENTRY BODY –>
<div align=”center”><?php previous_post(‘« %’,”,’yes’) ?> <?php next_post(‘ % »’,”,’yes’) ?></div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div> <!– end BLOG –>
<div id=”image”></div> <!– end IMAGE –>
</div> <!– end TOP –>
<br clear=”all”>
<div id=”middle”>
<div id=”column1″>

<?php // Do not delete these lines
