how to show disqus comments on home page WordPress

Dave Smith comments:

thanks for your suggestion. I'm using thematic, so my index looks like this:
<?php

// calling the header.php
get_header();

// action hook for placing content above #container
thematic_abovecontainer();

?>
<?php $wp_query->is_single = true; ?>



<div id="container">
<div id="content">

<?php

// create the navigation above the content
thematic_navigation_above();

// calling the widget area 'index-top'
get_sidebar('index-top');

// action hook for placing content above the index loop
thematic_above_indexloop();

// action hook creating the index loop
thematic_indexloop(); ?>


<?php // action hook for placing content below the index loop
thematic_below_indexloop();

// calling the widget area 'index-bottom'
get_sidebar('index-bottom');

// create the navigation below the content
thematic_navigation_below();

?>

</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->



<?php

// action hook for placing content below #container
thematic_belowcontainer();

// calling the standard sidebar
thematic_sidebar();

// calling footer.php
get_footer();

?>

not entirely sure where to put the </div>

<?php endwhile; ?> part of your recommendation, wherever I put it I end up with white screen of death.

Secondly, I can't for the life of me find the lines you suggest in disqus.php, here's my (really long, sorry) cut and paste of code from that file:

Jakub Zalas comments:
