How do I change “No Comments” to more inviting words?
-
Beside my post title it says “No Comments” (if nobody has yet commented) which sounds like I don’t want comments. How can I change the phrase to something more inviting – like maybe “Want to comment?” I have the CSS upgrade but am a total newbie at this.

There are two things you can do here with CSS.
1.) You can hide the text and add a background image with text. This cannot varied for the number of comments
2.) You can append Text before and after the link. Again, this cannot varied for the number of comments and won’t display in Internet Explorer. You’d still have the number of comments displayed (Besides, it’s the kewler solution, IMHO ;-))
.add_comment a:before {content:'There are ';} .add_comment a:after {content:' so far. Have your say!';} -
Thanks for the fast reply! So I opened the script in Notepad and put your additions here – at the beginning of that section. Is this correct?
.add_comment { display: block; padding: 0 0 0 20px; font-weight: bold; float: right; }
.add_comment a:before {content:’There are ‘;}
.add_comment a:after {content:’ so far. Have your say!’;}
.add_comment a, .add_comment a:visited { padding: 0; color: #333; text-decoration: none; }
.add_comment a:hover { color: #df0000; background: none; text-decoration: underline; }
And now that I’ve done this and saved the file to my desktop as myscript.txt, how do I get it into my blog’s design? Like I said, I’m at ground zero here.

The indents didn’t show up above. The first line is not indented and the rest of them are.

I have already thought about that. It is general.
I think that WP could set a second button “Add a commnent” near to the already existing “No comment” or “n comments”.
