  I am very new at this and just created my first blog post yesterday. I am trying to allow comments on my blog post. When I open my own post within WordPress, I see the comment box at the bottom of my post, available for anyone to say something. However, if I open up my post in a new internet tab via the URL thisiskryz10.wordpress.com, as if someone who didn’t have a WordPress account would open it up to read it, there is no comment box at the bottom. Can you please tell me how to make the comment box appear? As far as I can tell, I have all of the correct boxes checked in my Settings to be able to allow this feature. Thanks!

  Click this blog post title link
  https://thisiskryz10.wordpress.com/2016/01/09/this-is-kryz10-day-1/
  and scroll to the end of the post knowing all is well and what you see is expected for any blog.

  All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. Your visitors click the post titles or the comment links or comment bubbles on the front page of the blog, and they are directed to the full post appearing on its own page where the comment boxes appear at the end of the posts.

  Note that comments are collapsed on the front page of the blog because if they were not then the blog would take ages, to load and that would mean visitors would click out, rather than waiting for the front page to load.

  Additional information:

  You can enable and disable comments on WordPress.com blogs on this page Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
  That is where you set up defaults for comments and other comment options http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

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

  Important 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
