  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. You cannot change this. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

  Click any post tile and the comments are displayed below the post. I had no difficulty at all leaving this comment.

  I see another issue you need to address. this is the block of Categories and Tags you have assigned to a single post:

  Filed under: Family, Just Another Dribble and Drab!, Uncategorized | Tagged: Alaska, Alaska. homesteading, bear, Calamine lotion, Daddy, drinking water, Homer, moose, poison ivy, poison oak, porqupine, Remembering Daddy, Remembering Daddy The Trip Of A Lifetime, ritz crackers, sardines, trailer, travel, woods

  All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts

  As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.

  You are inadvertently spamming AKA tag spamming. You ought to be more concerned about Google and Bing than the WordPress.com Topics pages because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for tag spamming.

  
  The rule of thumb is to assign the least combined number of relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the post content.
