  Hello astromcyclotourjapan,

  There are 2 ways to allow comments for your blog posts. They can be enabled per individual post by going to: My Sites > Blog Posts > Edit (found in the 3 dot menu for the post) > More Options > select “Allow Comments”.

  Or

  To enable comments for all new posts, go to: My Sites > Settings > Discussion > Select “Allow people to post comments on new articles”

  *note – The comments field will not be visible on the blog page a visitor must go to the blog post to be able to add comments.

  For a walk through on adding comments to all posts check out: https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments-for-future-posts/

  I hope this helps you out.

  Click the title of any post and scroll to the end of it. For example see here:

  https://lastromcyclotourjapan.wordpress.com/2018/03/27/the-journey-begins/

  By default all Wordpres blog have open comments on all pages and posts. Unless we use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme the front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page and you cannot change this. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress and you cannot change this. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

  You can enable and disable comments on WordPress.com blogs on this page Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
  That is where you set up defaults for comments and other comment options http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/
