need help with a unique Wordpress request..

  • I would like to allow people to comment on an idea represented by the site as a whole. i dont need any posts and therefore have not included the loop in my index.php file. i would like to use the <?php comments_template(); ?> tag to make a commenting section as the veritable body of the site.

    im having a little troubble gettingt he comment form to show and now im wondering if it is necessary to have a post on the same page as the comments?

    i would like the site structure to be like this:

    <header>
    <static content that will never change>
    <user comments>
    <footer>

    is this not possible?
  • Sure it is. You would make a PAGE, and make sure to call the comments template as a part of the page.php template. Then go in settings and make that page the homepage.
  • Thanks Chris!

    BTW, what font am i typing in right now, in this text field?? — i like the l.
