Unfortunately, Joomla 1.5 category blog layout pages or default "Joomla Blogs" do not come with commenting functionality. If you want to use commenting on a Joomla based blog then you need to use a 3rd party component. There are a few comment components for Joomla. One of the best and easiest to use is JComments. If you know html, css, etc you can create your own JComment templates or themes but if you do not here are a few JComment themes. Just download, extract to your computer and upload the folders to JOOMLAFOLDER/components/com_jcomments/tpl. Then go to Joomla admin and go to components->Jcomments and click the layout tab and select your JComments theme.

Language Issue
These templates are from http://palpalych.ru which is a Russian website. The "add comment" link is in russian on some of these so just goto JOOMLAFOLDER//components/com_jcomments/tpl/TEMPLATEFOLDER and open the tpl_links.php file and change the links area to.....
if ($count == 0)
{
return '<a href="' . $link . '#addcomments">Add a Comment</a>';
break;
}
elseif ( $count == 1)
{
return '<a href="' . $link . '#addcomments">1 Comment</a>';
break;
}
elseif ( $count > 1 && $count <5 )
{
return '<a href="' . $link . '#addcomments">'.$count.' Comments</a>';
break;
}
else {
return '<a href="' . $link . '#addcomments">'.$count.' Comments</a>';
break;
Date Issue
If you get the message DATETIME_FORMAT where your date and time should be just open the file JOOMLAFOLDER//language/en-GB/en-GB.com_jcomments.ini and add the following to the end of the file..
DATE_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%d
TIME_FORMAT=%H:%M
DATETIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%d %H:%M
Comments
If you could update the link it would be very appreciated cause it looks really good!
this will help me!
Thanks. It is one that I did myself. If you have knowledge in html/css it's pretty easy to make your own.
