I can't seem to find where to turn on the comments feature, hence my
question about that.  I just installed the feature story module, and need to
tweak it somehow to fit properly into the sidebar.  It looks like a double
<ul> tag is involved, but I don't know my way around CMSes well enough yet
to just go poking around.  Part of the problem is I wouldn't know where to
look in this case.
