  I want the comments displayed under the blog posting by default similar to how youtube does it. Is there anyway to do this?

  Thanks.

  First off Link 2 your WordPress.COM blog please starting with the prefix http
  So we can determine what blogging platform your blogging with so we can help you.

  Also by linking your name to your blog it will serve the purposes…
  If you need to ask a support question in the forum then it will make it easier for the volunteers to see what blogging platform your using & will aide them in giving you a more accurate answer to your question.

  Is it theme dependent?

  It is not theme dependent. It is not possible at WordPress.com. It IS possible on an independently-hosted WP blog. But it’s quite disruptive once your blog starts getting a decent number of comments. I’ve got a post with over 1200 comments on it. Can you imagine scrolling past that? Nobody would bother; they’d just leave.

  Not like there isn’t a solution: only display the first however many. Disappointing, I may have to host elsewhere.

  That isn’t a solution you can implement at WordPress.com. If this is a dealbreaker for you, yes, you will have to find another host.
