  For my class my teacher wrote an article and we are suppose to comment on it. I can’t edit my comments are all. The site you should me didn’t help. I can’t see my post when going into the portal.

  Thanks for clarifying!

  To comment on your teacher’s WordPress.com blog post, you should visit her blog first and open her post. You should see a comments box at the bottom of that post that you can use to comment.

  Here is a handy help guide from WordPress.com to help you understand what comments are and how to leave comments on others’ sites. https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/

  Feel free to get back if you have questions, jkhamman! :)

  I get how to do that but once I post it wont allow me to edit it. I read the only way to edit it is to have a paid subscription and get a plug in. I don’t want to buy a subscription to edit my comments. Is there any other way ?

  As you can see on this page https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/#can-i-edit-comments-i-left-on-someone-else%E2%80%99s-blog, you cannot edit comments.

  “No. It is not possible to edit or delete any comments you have left on other WordPress.com blogs. Blog owners are in full control of the comments on their blogs, so you can try contacting the blog owner and ask them to edit or delete a comment for you. If the blog owner has not posted any contact information, you can try leaving a short comment asking how to contact them directly.”

  I read the only way to edit it is to have a paid subscription and get a plug in. I don’t want to buy a subscription to edit my comments.

  You are misinformed here. Be informed that no matter what WordPress.com plan you are on, you cannot edit comments you leave on others’ sites.
