  is it possible to have all comments posted in ascending order as they are made?
  I’d like to have my welcome comment always on top.

  Thanks for any help afforded a novice like myself.

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

  You can set comment order at settings > discussion in your dashboard.

  It would appear that setting the preference to ‘older’ comments to top of page even after altering the time on the original welcome comment, doesn’t work unfortunately. I’ll be living with new comments at the top of the page from now on I guess.
  Thanks again.

  What blog are you talking about? http://swobg.wordpress.com/ does not have any comments on it.

  I’m sorry. Being a novice I thought the ‘comments’ I was putting on the page were ‘comments’ but they’re posts. Can’t see any blushing from there can you? I’ll get better I promise.

  Not a problem we were all beginners once. You can make your welcome post a “sticky” post and then it will always stay at the top of your main blog page. This support document covers how to set a post as a sticky post: http://support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/ .
