  Whats the difference between leave a reply and leave a comment? Why would I need both?
  I insert the comment box into my posts and I want readers comments to be visable to all -but my readers always choose the leave a reply option so their comments are sent to me only. Can I disable the leave a reply option? It appears automatically in each post right now.
  Yes I tried the help section to no avail – I find the help info is really tailored to paid accounts only.
  Thanks for your help! :)

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

  There is no difference between “Leave a reply” and “Leave a comment”. Some themes use one, some use the other. If you’re getting notifications about comments that are not going up on the blog, you should change your discussion settings.

  I insert the comment box into my posts

  You have inserted a Contact Form — that goes straight to you and is never visible. Take the form out of all your Posts. Put is on a Page by itself if you want people to be able to contact you directly

  Make sure you have comments enabled

  Dashboard >> Settings >> Discussion >> Default Article Setting >> Allow people to post comments on new articles

  Remember to save changes – at bottom of the page

  Go back to each Post and enable the comments if they were turned off
