Working on the moving principal, using prepend instead of append, I'm wondering how to keep cloning from happening. Is that an easy thing to implement?

For example, on a page with multiple DIV elements of the same ID/class, how do I tell a child element to move to another child but only relative to its parent? Right now I have:

$('.entry-body').prepend($('.entry-comments'));

But on a page with 4 instances of .entry-body, and the same number of .entry-comments, the above prepend code ends up populating 4 times in each .entry-body instance.

You mentioned that "jQuery first removes the content from its old parent, then clones the content as many times as necessary and adds a clone to each parent element" and that's exactly what I'd prefer not to happen. Thoughts?

@brianna: You need to find a way to specifically select the single .entry-body element you're interested in, rather than selecting all 4 elements with the .entry-body class.

I can't give exact information without seeing your page. However I think you'll find jQuery's parent() method useful:

Cheers,
Matt
