Here is an example of how you might lay out your comment template:
<div id="comments">
{exp:weever}
{exp:comment:entries weblog="blog" weever="on" comments_per_page="20"}
<div class="head">
<p class="title">
{title}
</p>
<p class="meta">
Posted by: {author} on {comment_date format="%Y %m %d"}
</p>
</div> <!-- END .head -->
<div class="body">
{comment}
</div> <!-- END .body -->
<div class="footer">
<a href="/blog/comment-form/{entry_id}/{comment_id}/">Reply to this comment</a>
</div> <!-- END .footer -->
{/exp:comment:entries}
{/exp:weever}
</div> <!-- END #comments -->
This might result in HTML like:
<div id="comments">
<div id="comment-101" class="comment-container level_1 has_children">
<div class="head">
<p class="title">
First Post!
</p>
<p class="meta">

<div class="footer">

</div>
<div class="comment-children">
<div id="comment-102" class="comment-container level_2 has_children">
<div class="head">
