adding comments on pages after each new entry on page
-
Is there a way to add comments to each new entry you make a pages that are not the home page? I think you can add comments way at the end but that is lot of scrolling.
I know all of the entries on pages other than the home page are in one post, but I still would like to get comments after each addition I make to the page.
Forgive the jumble of words. I can’t figure out how to explain it very well.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, I think I get what you’re saying. You want to have a page or post that has multiple sections on the same page.
After each individual section, you’d like there to be a comments area.
I’m trying to think of a way to do that, but I’m coming up blank. The comment system was really designed to have comments at the end of a post as opposed to individual sections in one page.
I’d also think that if you had a lot of comments on a particular section, it would get in the way of the other sections and make it difficult to read.
An alternative might be to have individual posts for each section and then create a page that has all of the posts you want listed to sort of work as an index of those posts.
You could do that by creating each individual post and giving them the same category. Then you could use a category page to list those posts much the same way the front page lists your posts.
Here’s some documentation on creating a category page, take a look and see if that might get you close to organizing your content the way you want.

Thank you so much for your reply. What you explained is exactly what I am trying to do. If you want to see why I wish I could have comments at the end of each thing look at my grandson page.
How can I get the password for my grandson page without having a million people see it.

I do not believe this is a comments question per se. I believe that this s blogger does not understand the differences between (1) posts and pages, and (2) also does not understand the differences between static pages, which will never update and dynamic category pages, which will automatically update every time a post is published.@kathysthreads
We organize our posts by assigning categories to them, and dynamic category pages automatically created by the software when we publish posts are not the same as static Pages that we bloggers create.Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We assign categories to posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
Until we publish a post with a category assigned to it the relevant dynamic categories page will not have any data that it can display.This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

Thank you for your reply, timethief.
I am aware of the difference between pages and posts. I wanted to make the page do something I doubted it could do. I figured there might be a work around.
I understand categories as well. And I also know how to make menus.
