Because I periodically receive abusive comments in my blog, I'd like to add text to my comment template briefly explaining what's not acceptable.

I use WordPress. Could anyone tell me where within the template the text may be added so that it will display just over the blog's comment text box?

I usually view source on the page, then find something recognizable that I can search the templates for. In your case maybe the form name or one of the form element names.

then I find which template it is and from there it is usually straight forward to add the extra text.

After trial & error, I figured out where to place the rules within the comment.php file.

>> trial & error

when playing with someone else's software that is always the best way, glad you got it sorted
