But the blog's template doesn't include the in-page bookmarks to make them work. For it to work, the beginning of the comment needs a line like one of these: <a name="comment-1256"></a> or <div id="comment-1256"></div> Those HTML tags will do absolutely nothing, except serve as the in-page marker allowing you to append "#comment-1256" to the link. So, to the blog-master: There might be a setting you can check in the Theme settings to turn this on. Or, you might have to go into the PHP for the template, and add this. (I'm not sure what the PHP variable name is, though. You could probably find it by looking at the code that creates the date/time-stamp links.)

Trying to get to it at all often produces only an error message. The website itself seems to be a bit quirky, fading in and out somewhat haphazardly.
