Read-a-thon and XML help!

Ten hours until the read-a-thon starts! I am really getting excited about this now.. not sure why but I guess it's because I like a good community blogging challenge!

Instead of resting and preparing myself I am preparing lunch! My family are visiting today and it's a beautiful day for a BBQ. I will try and squeeze a nap in late this afternoon if possible. I am also going to rely heavily on caffinee I think.

SO, my question is, what are YOU doing to prepare for the read-a-thon? What is your start time? Is it late like mine? How long do you plan to stay up for and how many hours of reading are you hoping to get done?

Lastly, can someone who knows XML please help me??!! This blog template I am using doesn't allow for embedded comments. Only pop up comments. So after much internet searching I found a site that had a code to allow an embedded comment box. Great! Only problem is now, as you can see, the comment box is not just below each individual post on the posts page, but also on my home page. It looks cluttered and messy. So, can anyone tell me a code I can use to change this so the box only shows on the individual posts? I would be forever grateful.
