I have a comments bo at the bottmo of my pages. It's pretty typical, but I'd like to make a bunch of edits to it. I'd like to change the text, add my own HTML, and simplify it so that the user doesn't have a choice whether to use HTML or Plain Text, and the editor has many editng options excluded.

Something like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5kl5bqu67lt5oe9/comments.png?dl=0

How would I do this? I haven't found anything which explains this in too much detail.

FURTHERMORE, I'd like to allow anyone to post a comment by adding their name and email. They don't need an account. Right now, it says "Log in to post comments". I want the comments box to appear to anyone.

Thanks,
Brendan
