  How can I display the “Leave a Comment” more prominently on the page? Most readers have a hard time finding it!

  Is there a widget?

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

  The free and easy way to do this is to place a text widget at the top of your sidebar with a brief message. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  If you have CSS editing skills and are willing to pay for an annually renewable CSS upgrade and do the work yourself it MAY be possible to make the phrase more prominent or not. There is a preview function here > Appearance > edit CSS and you can try before you buy without your visitors detecting any changes to the blog.

  I have done this in html/css I use the Atahualpa theme which makes it easy.
  I don’t know where you would put it in another theme, perhaps you can suggest, timethief.

  .post-footer .comments-link {
  font-weight:bold !important;
  }

  You can see it at work here:

  @sharonej, CSS is theme specific and the selectors are all named differently at the whim of the theme designer so what would work in your theme will not work in another and besides, here at wordpress.COM we have to buy an upgrade to edit CSS and I don’t thing the OP has the CSS upgrade.
