Re: Comments problem (and CSS issue)

Bah--Ted beat me to it.  I was just writing exactly what he wrote.

Your permalink goes to the date page and then to the anchor for the entry.
The comment form only shows up on pages with only one entry.

So you should probably do a permalink that's not the date and then title,
but rather the category then title.

So my permalinks are:

   <a href="$base_url/$file_path.html" title="Permalink">Permalink</a>

That produces links like:

Hope that helps.
