Formatting and displaying other peoples ‘comments’

    Good afternoon,

    I am very new to the blogging word, in fact only 4 posts old! I had my first comment today (any more would be very welcome), but it doesn’t automatically show up (you need to click on the ‘1 comment >>’ link to see it), and then when it does appear the font is tiny. So my questions are:

    How do you make comments automatically appear (once approved)?
    And how do you change the size/format of the text?

    Any help would be really welcome, thank you everyone in advance. And please feel free to comment on my posts so far.

    Thank you
    Ollygoffe

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

    ollygoffe,

    Comments appear only when you are reading a single post (as you are when clicking on ‘coment’).

    Consider for a moment what your blog would look like if comments appeared under posts on your front page, and especially how it would look if you had 100 comments per post: readers would have to scroll for miles to get on to your next post!

    As for the tiny print (also rather low contrast), that is theme dependent. I think you could style it larger if you had the CSS upgrade. But don’t buy the upgrade unless you have knowledge about and experience with CSS! There is no official support for questions here, though sometimes CSS wizards look in to the forums.

    Command + will make text (and images) larger in browser windows.
    (Control + on non-Mac computers?)
