Thanks for your help. I know where that particular editor is, but when you’re there, this message pops up:

Did you know?

There’s no need to change your CSS here — you can edit and live preview CSS changes in the built-in CSS editor.

That’s what I’m referring to.

Where is the custom CSS? Also, I was talking about the built-in CSS editor overriding the existing data.

So don’t use the built-in CSS editor because it could mess up my stylesheet? Just use it as a test and then go directly to the stylesheet?

This worked!!!!!!!!!!! I’m going to cry. Thank you. It was the theme. My blog is ugly now with the standard theme but I’m not touching it!!!

I GOT IT!!!!

I ADDED THIS CODE

#nktagcloud-3 .widget { margin-top:50ox;}

It didn’t work, but I REALLY appreciate your help with this. I contacted disqus about it. At least I know that it’s a plugin issue though — now it’s not bothering me quite as much.

Many thanks!

My major apologies. I deactivated the disqus plugin and you are correct!!!!! It now says “leave a comment!”

Wow — to think that I fought so hard and I was completely wrong.

So now for my next question — do you think that this needs to be changed in the plugin settings in disqus itself, or there’s a way to change it in the code.

Also — thank you sooooo much for your help with this. I realize it’s tedious and annoying — it’s just one of those things that is driving me nuts.

If it’s true that it’s a plugin issue, then why does it appear when I click on the individual post?

There you will see ‘leave a comment’ at the top, as desired. I’ve had issues where videos would appear in the individual post and not the home page b/c I did not tell the home page to show something with an <iframe> tag.

Perhaps I’m wrong — but I keep having this issue where I have to specify what appears on the home page. The code above are all of the tags I’ve specified (such as the center tag b/c videos that I centered would appear flush left on the home page and centered on the individual post)

Okay sorry. How do I deactivate the javascript?

Vesper

I’d rather change the code instead of adding a plugin, though I appreciate the suggestion.

got it!!!! Now I understand. Thanks so much! Hope that works below

<div class="post-entry">
                    	<?php if(is_page() || is_single()) { ?>
						<?php the_content('Continue Reading &raquo;'); ?>
                        <?php } else { ?>
                        <?php the_excerpt_reloaded(1000, '<h3>,<h4>,<a>,<img>,<p>,<ul>,<ol>,<small>,<h2>,<li>,<ol class="commentlist">,<table border="0">, <code>, <center>, </tr>, </tbody>, <tbody>, <script>, <strong>, <td>, <tr>, <em>, <table>, <embed>, <iframe>', 'content', TRUE, 'Continue Reading', FALSE, 2); ?>
                        <?php } ?>
					</div>

Okay — my apologies for being confused here. I’m looking to have my home page read as “leave a comment” instead of 0 comments. Are you telling me to insert code tags into the template itself? And if so, where in the template would I insert it?

BTW I appreciate your help. It’s one of those little things that is driving me nuts, and I wish I could figure out. I really do appreciate your effort.
