  How do I set up Facebook comments on my blog?

  The regular comments have a MASSIVE text size, so we’d like to just incorporate Facebook comments.

  I cannot find that in the plug-ins search. Is there a good how-to guide out there?

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

  Facebook comments are for Facebook sites, not for wordpress.COM sites. Read this please https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/my-blog-is-posting-on-facebook-but-comments-are-not-posting-on-my-blog?replies=2#post-2509342

  WordPress comments have a massive font size that I’m unable to change. One comment takes up 3-4x the screen space of some of my blogs.

  Other WordPress sites use Facebook comments. I don’t understand. I’ve seen how-to guides, but I can’t find the plug-in.

  WordPress.COM hosted blogs and WordPress.ORG sites on paid hosting are different.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  but I can’t find the plug-in

  There is no FTP access and blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs. There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining.

  Could my blog ever be switched to .org someday easily?

  There is a step by step process at Moving to self hosted WordPress
  https://move.wordpress.com

  I do not recommend undertaking self hosting of a wordpress.ORG site, unless you are extremely adept at wordpress.COM blogging. There is no Staff support for wordpress.ORG installs. There is only a peer support forum where many threads never get answered, and you will be responsible for undertaking the fixing of anything that goes wrong.
