COMMENTS why won’t you show up…

Hello—

For some odd reason, there is no section to comment on anything on any page. I went to settings>discussion and read through each box to see what needed to be clicked. Everything appears as it should to me.

site: lifeexcursion.com
Here is my coding in my comments.php file:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
if (!empty($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]) && ‘comments.php’ == basename($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]))
die (‘Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!’);

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there’s a password
if ($_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn’t match the cookie
?>

<p>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>

<?php
return;
}
}

/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
$oddcomment = ‘class=”alt” ‘;
?>

<!– You can start editing here. –>

<?php if ($comments) : ?>

<h3 id=”comments”><?php comments_number(‘No Responses’, ‘One Response’, ‘% Responses’ );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>

<ol class=”commentlist”>

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id=”comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>”>
<p class=”comment_meta”>” title=””><?php comment_date(‘F jS, Y’) ?> at <?php comment_time() ?> <?php edit_comment_link(‘edit’,’  ‘,”); ?></p>

<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 16 ); ?>
<cite><?php comment_author_link() ?> </cite> says:
<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == ‘0’) : ?>
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
<?php endif; ?>

<div class=”comment_bubble”>
<?php comment_text() ?>
</div>

<?php
/* Changes every other comment to a different class */
$oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? ‘class=”alt” ‘ : ”;
?>

<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

<?php if (‘open’ == $post->comment_status) : ?>
<!– If comments are open, but there are no comments. –>

<?php else : // comments are closed ?>
<!– If comments are closed. –>
<p>Comments are closed.</p>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if (‘open’ == $post->comment_status) : ?>

<h3 id=”respond”>Leave a Reply</h3>

<?php if ( get_option(‘comment_registration’) && !$user_ID ) : ?>
<p>You must be /wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>”>logged in to post a comment.</p>
<?php else : ?>

<form action=”<?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>/wp-comments-post.php” method=”post” id=”commentform”>

<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>

<p>Logged in as /wp-admin/profile.php”><?php echo $user_identity; ?>. /wp-login.php?action=logout” title=”Log out of this account”>Log out »</p>

<?php else : ?>

<p><input type=”text” name=”author” id=”author” value=”<?php echo $comment_author; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”1″ <?php if ($req) echo “aria-required=’true'”; ?> />
<label for=”author”><small>Name <?php if ($req) echo “(required)”; ?></small></label></p>

<p><input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”2″ <?php if ($req) echo “aria-required=’true'”; ?> />

<label for=”url”><small>Website</small></label></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<!–<p><small>XHTML: You can use these tags: <?php echo allowed_tags(); ?></small></p>–>

<p><textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”100%” rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″></textarea></p>

<p><input name=”submit” type=”submit” id=”submit” tabindex=”5″ value=”Submit Comment” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”comment_post_ID” value=”<?php echo $id; ?>” />
</p>
<?php do_action(‘comment_form’, $post->ID); ?>

</form>

<?php endif; // If registration required and not logged in ?>

<?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>
