comments to always display?
-
I would really like the comments to my blog to continually display at the bottom of the page instead of the reader having to click ‘comment’ link near the top of the page on the right side. So, how do I have the comments display at the bottom, all the time, that invite people to easily comment?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your blog is operating correctly. Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme comments are collapsed on the front page of the blog. 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.
If you are concerned readers will not find the comments section you can use a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ to tell them how to do that and place it at the top of your sidebar.
If you want to create threaded or nested comments see the support docs for Discussion Settings Other Options 4.
Enable threaded (nested) comments __ levels deep- Turn on this option to allow visitors to reply to other comments inline/nested. When turned on it can allow for better discussions and responses. We suggest using a maximum of 3 levels deep. Anything higher and the theme layouts may not work as expected. Note: Enabling the setting only applies to new comments since existing comments don’t have any threading date. However, disabling this setting applies to all comments. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#other-comment-settings
