  I would like comments on the bottom of my blog post rather than having to click on comments at the top of my post

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m sorry but that’s not possible unless you use the P2 theme or P2 breathe themes which are Twitter-like themes, the front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page. 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.

  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.

  Hi @briaryjane, to be clear, comments show on single posts. Not on the list of posts, unless you have a theme that is especially built for that. @timethief mentioned some below.

  You could also consider doing a two-column theme and putting a “latest comments” widget in the sidebar.
