Hi,

I just finished doing section 7 of the getting started guide. Is there a way to get rid of the empty comment block associated to each post?

So when I visit a page, the part that displays all comments displays like so:

> Comments
> 
> Commenter: guy incognito
> 
> Comment: this is a comment i just wrote up
> 
> Destroy Comment
> 
> Commenter:
> 
> Comment:
> 
> Destroy Comment

Not sure if this is because of a typo on my part, but I pretty much copy and pasted the render and moving this to a partial. Also, if I try to delete the empty comment, it throws a Routing Error page.

Thanks!
