XP is so much fun. (That’s why I love my Mac! LOL)

And yeah, I know about the magnifying glass (in FF2 – I think? I use FF3 and it doesn’t do that) I just haven’t had a chance to fix it. I need to get scheduling in order so I can fix things like this!

I noticed that the magnifying glass icon’s border isn’t level with the rest of the search box’s border at the top of your site, maybe some padding/margin is off? I don’t know if this is intended but I thought I’d let you know

Actually, the styling is nothing more than CSS. If you view the source code of the site (when it’s loaded) you’ll see all the classes and ID’s that are attributed to the commenting section.

Basically, you can alternate colors for every other comment by styling the “odd” and “even” classes in the stylesheet. Then there’s a third attribute for an author commenting on his own post. You can delve into it even a bit more (and get as complicated as you like( because there’s also classes set for whether or not a comment is threaded or not (“thread-even”, “thread odd” and even the depth level: “depth-1″)

Hope that helps

Could you explain how to style/code parent and child comments differently in a nested comment configuration?

I like your use of jQuery for the “Show/Hide Replies” option. It keeps things clean and readable.

keep up the great work….

<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>

The wp_enqueue_script() function will call in default scripts into WordPress. The above pulls in/activates the “comment-reply” script (only to single post pages which is really only where you need it to be), which enables the JS threading of comments.

Then in the comments.php file, you need to add in:

<?php comment_id_fields(); ?>

(if you have “comment_post_ID” in your comments.php file, just replace that with the above code – you can’t have both at the same time.) This replaces the ID with a hidden field that tells the page if the comment is a parent or a child.

Your comment textarea field also MUST have an id of “comment” – don’t change it to “message” or anything else. Also, to enable linking from other sources, your “respond” ID has to be set on a div, not just the anchor tag. (in the past, it was “<a id="respond" rel="nofollow"></code>" - now it should be "<div id="respond"><a>"

The "<h3>Leave a Comment</h3>" Should be converted to this:

<h3><?php comment_form_title(); ?></h3>

That's pretty much it. You can read more on customizing these variables here.
