Hello,

So I've figured out how to make pop-comments work but what I'd like to do is customize how the actual comments are layed out. I don't like the way they're pre-set and would like to change spacing, etc.

How do I do this?

ummm you should change the index.php file. actually this is the part of PP that's not as easy as other parts with templates.

Edit:
WHOOPS! I was Wrong!
Connie is right. you can modify the layout by modifying the css in comment template.

isn't this something you do with CSS?
identify the CSS which is responsible for the comments and experiment with that

That didn't help because it doesn't allow me to edit the comment entries so that each comment can have space in between and also I don't want my comments to be formatted as a "list."

Where do I go in the PHP to edit it?

well, I think even before you start to edit the index.php, it will be easier
to define CSS for that

1) define the list for the comments as

Code:

list-style-type:none;

and you will have no list-style-comments

2) the comments sit in a div

Code:

<div id="comments">

so you can define space for all elements in that special div by CSS

br.comments <= with that you define everything for br in class "comments"

Code:

br.comments {margin-top:5px;}

go ahead and experiment a little, that is always better because you must edit the script, and can change everything in the template!
