I'm afraid I have one more question about the blog recipe. I got rid
of the comments counter on the Blog index, but I can't seem to figure
out how to get rid of it on the blog page. I have tried editing the
Site pages FoxBlogTemplate, FoxCommentBox, FoxCommentTemplate and
LocalTemplate, but I can't find anything to delete that gets rid of
the Comment counter and edit comment page link. Where else should I
look?

thanks,
