COMMENTS SHOWING
-
In my blog it’s quite interesting to see comments, in fact they are the most important item. So I would like to see them immediately when opening a new page, without having to click on the header of the post.
Is there any possibility to show the comments immediately?
Thanks!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No. 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.
There’s a very good reason for this. I have nearly 1000 posts in my blog and get between 30 – 50 comments on most posts. 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.

Great explanation! Thank you so much. I´ll try and take a look of P2-Theme, perhaps it might be the best way.

You could also add the “Recent Comments” widget to your sidebar.
Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets
You won’t see all of your comments, but you can adjust the number of comments to display.

Yes, I’ve already done! But they appear just listed down. I’d like to sort them by topics. I have now changed into P2 theme. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Great!
