  I can not add discussion option to my postings. What am I doing wrong? Have read tutorial and all correct. I do have multiple contributors, would that affect discussion option?

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

  Every WordPress blog has comments enabled on all posts and pages by default. If there are no comments open on your blog then that’s because you changed the settings. This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.

  Also note that unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like themem the front pages of our blogs showcase content, comments are collapsed on that page and 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.

  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.
