How do I add the comment section at the bottom of each post?
-
My comments on my blog appear not at the bottom of the posts, but up near the title.
Redears told me it seems like there is no option to add a comment. It was rather diffuclt for them to leave a comment.How do I fix it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your blog is operating correctly. Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme comments are collapsed on the front page of the 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.
If you are concerned readers will not find the comments section you can use a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ to tell them how to do that and place it at the top of your sidebar.

Thank you!
I will use the text widget.
Most readers will not start to look where to leave a comment,
so I need to make this easy for them. -

My posts are not showing an option for comments. It was there initially and now has disappeared. Readers are asking by email how they can post comment. How do I reinstate the option?

Hello there,
All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > DiscussionDiscussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules
