Is it possible to display the total number of comments for a blog post?
Place this in your TPL file...
<div class="submitted"><?php print 'article - ' .l("$node->name","user/$node->uid"). ' - ' .format_date($node->created, "custom", "F j, Y"). ' - This post has ' .$node->comment_count. ' comments';?></div>
Turn on the statistics. I think it is in there. All of my sites show how many comments there are on the main page. Is this what you are looking for? If not, more details are necessary. It may be a theme related issue as well.
