TOPIC: yes or no ! showing the number of comments made

is there away of showing how many comments have been made on a article ?

on the home page i want to show how many comments have been made for each of the articles !

is that possible and how to do it ?

is it a blog format on the home page ? say i have 3 blogs entries with readmore btn to open the article so you can read the comments...

Well, every readmore button has also (X comments).

ok is there another way of displaying it ?

as my readmore btn is already styled as a image ! and when i switched it on in the admin "settings layout" it duplicates the readmore btn and you can not see any number count not that i want it to show of or next the readmore

is there another way of showing it ?

Well, you can change the readon class to something else and style it differently.
