  You have to go to the sidebar and click “comments RSS”

  I want to have the comments listed at the bottom of the posts.

  Please help

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

  Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme comments are collapsed on the front page of your blog. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

  In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.

  I suggest you install a Recent Comments widget in your sidebar.

  Thank you so much Timethief.

  It may be minor to you, but this sort of info is a Godsend to me.

  Thank you for helping.
