comment form not showing
-
How do I get the ‘Leave a Reply’ to stand out on the front page in twenty ten. At the moment it is in hypertext only and needs someone to click on it to reveal the comment form . It is there in the second page which is just some blurb about me so not really needed there!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can’t do that on WordPress.com. The comment form is never on the front page except in the theme P2.

The “second page” you refer to is the post displayed on it’s own page. Posts are merely “showcased” on the front page of the blog. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress and we cannot change this. Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme, comments are collapsed on the front page of your blog where our posts are “showcased”. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.
The reason for this structure is that in a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.
You can place a text widget in your sidebar telling readers to click the post title or leave a comment link.You can make the “leave a comment” link more prominent only by purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the CSS editing required.

Timethief thank you so much for such a quick reply. As you can see I am new at this lark. Am off to investigate text widgets!
