Comment Placement
-
Some blogs have comments printed right on the top page. In my blog a reader has to click on the post to read the comments. How can I make it so people can read the comments others made and fill in the comment box without having to click on the post itself?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am confused.
Don’t you want the page view stats to register on your blog? How can can a page view stat be created when everything is done in the Reader? The answer is they can’t. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/off-site-activity-and-stats?replies=8
Don’t you want your own site to be the only site where full copies of your posts are displayed?

OOPS! I missed the boat on what you meant. Now I understand you.
The way your theme and blog are functioning is the norm. 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.
Some themes display comments bubbles (links) at the top by the post title. Most do not. What I posted applies to every WordPress.com blog regardless of theme.
I have nearly 1000 posts in my blog. Imagine how long the page loading time wold be if every comment made over the last 7 years displayed. I wouldn’t have any readers because they would be so peeved off at the lengthy page loading time they would click out before the blog loaded.
Also note that to display excerpts of posts only on the front page of the blog followed by read more links visitors can use to click to read the full post on its own page you can insert the more tag into your posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ That will reduce page loading time. Don’t forget that many are still on dial-up service and they pay for every minute it takes to load the blog.
