  All WordPress blogs by default have comments enabled on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion

  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.

  You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  Click this link please http://art4pat.wordpress.com/2014/05/19/tulip-heaven/ and scroll to the end of the post.

  Unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme, know that the front pages of our blogs “showcase content” and comments are collapsed on that page. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display. You cannot change this. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress.
