Hi,

I imported a theme from Tumblr to use it in my personal blog. I like the way it looks, but the only bad thing is that I lost the comments section. I believe most of Tumblr blogs do not have a comments fuctionality, but I guess I should be able to "turn this on" in my blog.

Can anyone help me to achieve that?

This is my blog: http://interludios.posterous.com

And this is the original theme: http://safe.tumblr.c...me/preview/8959

Regards,

Ricardo

Hi Cory,

I'm very sorry, because I was lazy. Right after posting my problem, I went ahead and decided to try to figure out by myself how to do this, and I made it (using the reference, just like you suggest). So... I should have tried before posting.

Now I have the comments funcionality, but I need further help, because I don't really know how to center the Comments link and put it beneath the "Notes" buton. I will remove the Notes button because I don't really want to use that. It belongs to Tumblr. But I do want to have my comments section aligned below the post.

Can you give me some tip on how to do that? Do I have to change the .css file? I know how to change the color, font and all that, except the position.

Thank you!

I would wrap all of your comment code in a new div and give it a class like class="block-comments". Then, to center, add this to your CSS:

.block-comments {
margin:0 auto; /* this will center the block based upon the width specified below */
width:500px;
}
