Comments on my blog
-
Am I able to move the comments box to the bottom of each post instead of the speech bubble at the top? People are not commenting and I have received emails saying that they are unable to find a comments box at the bottom of the post – this is because it is a speech bubble at the top of the post (where the viewer wouldn’t think to look when they have finished reading the post) Is there a way of changing this?
Many Thanks

Hi there,
The comments section is actually at the bottom of each individual post, like this one: http://elistonbutton.com/2014/01/08/workspace-wednesday-blue-white/
However, the comment box does not appear on the main blog feed which you see here: http://elistonbutton.com/
This helps keep things tidy on your blog feed on your home page, where displaying comments would make things pretty chaotic, and make it hard to tell where the next blog post starts and the comments for the last one end.
One thing you can do to take advantage of this (and organize your home page even more) is to insert a More Tag in your blog posts. That way you can add a “continue reading” link for each post on your stream.
This will allow you to create a “teaser” that encourages readers to click through to read the rest of the post, as well as see a box to leave a comment. This is a big help especially on long blog posts, as you can show a shorter version on the home page, to cut down on scrolling.
Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi There Jerry,
Thank you for your time looking into this for me. I really like the ‘more tag’ idea so will have a play around with that. I thought I was just missing something!
Many Thanks
Rachel
