  I want comments to appear on the actual page with a post, so that when someone clicks on the homepage, they can see a post AND the comments. Don’t want to click a link that says “3 comments” to see the actual comments. I’m wanting an instant and immediate availability of all the comments.

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

  Well that’s not possible unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme.

  The front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page and you cannot change this. 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..
