Hope this is where this post supposed to go.

I've installed wordpress and now all I want is help with the comments page. If you go to my webpage and click on the link that says "Voice It!", it will take you to the comment page section. Then you can see instead of the layout that is supposed to appear I have this white page with my blog entry and that is it.

So anyone knows why? Which file am I supposed to edit to get rid of the white background page and replace it with my original layout? I tried editing the file comments.php, but it doesn't work. Help please =(.

I do not see a link which says "Voice it" on your webpage

Go here: http://ebil.beulye.com/wp-content/themes/ebil/blog.php ... actually if you scroll down my introduction page, you can see under Navigation how to go to the blog. Click on the image AREDHEL to go there. Then scroll down again and you can see 'Voice It'.

:-\ Now i just get a 404

A 404?? Gah, I don't know because I am able to view it, both in IE and Firefox ... bleh. Have you tried clicking on AREDHEL instead?

Sorry this is the right URL for my blog

When you say it doesn't show the "layout," what do you mean? How do you want it to look? You don't have any layout coding in the comments page... Well, there is, but it's using id's and classes from the style sheet, but the style sheet for that page doesn't have them in it...

If you go here: http://ebil.beulye.com/ ... that is the layout that I want my comments page to have. When I click on the link to my comments page, I will not see my layout, but instead I can see a white-background page along with my entry, comment section and the comments I recevied from people.

So yeah that is what I mean. I've tried editing comments.php, comments-popup.php and the stylesheet, but my layout still doesn't appear. The only thing that changes are the colour of the font, type of font, borders on the comments and etc.

If you go here: http://ebil.beulye.com/ ...

I get a database connection error on that page...

That is very weird. I am able to view it and so are the others whom I know. Well if it is an error in the database I think my host may be updating something on wordpress. I think she has finsihed updating whatever it is because I am able to view my blog. I think I should mention that the file name for my blog is blog.php instead of index.php. Do you think it has something to do with that?

That is really weird. *sigh* well since no one knows how to do it and since those who do but aren't able to view my site, I guess I am calling it quits. Thanks anyway for all of your help =).

I can help! Don't give up. :) Now, I looked at your files and see that you are using font and background color tags to customize your comments page.. I suggest using css instead. Maybe wordpress is confused by your using inproper coding to code your website and is simply not displaying it correctly.

I haven't add the css for my comments page into my stylesheet yet, the one in the default theme stylesheet that says #commentform and bla bla bla. I'll add that later as soon as I am able figure out how to get my layout onto my comments page.

You see, when you click on my site you can see the circle-y layout and I want that layout to appear in my comments page too. I've edited comments.php and commentspopup.php by putting the coding for my layout into them, but even that doesn't work. All that I am able to see is a white background page.
