  Hi,
  I’ve just set up my blog and I was hoping that someone can help me. I want readers to have the ability to post comments. How do I add this feature?
  Help!

  The default setting for all WordPress.com blogs is “comments open”. The comments are open on the blog linked to your username. So if you are referring to another blog then please post an active link starting with http:// to that blog.

  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  We can also overide the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.

  Go to the top right hand corner of your Admin page and click “screen options” and enable the “Discussion” module there. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

  Pages > disable and enable comments > http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/#enabling-and-disabling-comments-using-the-discussion-module
  Edit page and under the editor box scroll down until you find the “Discussion Module”
  locate and disable these:
  Discussion
  __Allow comments.
  __Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.
  Click “update”

  Oops! I typed “disable these” when I meant to type “enable these if they are not already enabled”
