How do I get the comment option to automatically show on my blog?

    I just purchased standard theme and when I visit my blog, it shows the blog, but the comment area is ‘hidden’. I have to click the little permalink in the lower right hand corner of the post to access the comment window. How can I automatically set the comment window to be open, so that it is seen below the post and the permalink doesn’t need to be clicked? Thank you!

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

    Hi again. :)

    In your blog’s theme, you’ll only be able to comment when on a specific post’s page, not when viewing a listing of posts like seen on your front page shannongianottidotcom.wordpress.com.

    If you want to make it more prominent that commenting is available, a lot of folks like doing this little trick:

    1. Add a More tag to the very end of your article
    2. Change the text from “More” to a custom message like “Leave A Comment”

    This doesn’t make the comment box appear by default like you’d prefer, but it does make it a little more obvious how to find it.

    Best,

    -Alex G.
