leave a comment section
-
Hi,
I am using the 2016 theme for this blog and there is no way for readers to leave a comment. The expected section is not at the end (bottom) of the blog entry.
What am I doing wrong,
Thanks,
rdoan
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Comments are collapsed on the front pages of our sites and this cannot be changed as it is coded into the core of wordpress software. On the front page our posts are showcased. There we click the title of the post and scroll to the end to find the comment box when the post is displayed on its own page.
In a new blog, one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog with many comments 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.

Unless you use the P2 theme or the P2 Breathe theme which are Twitter-like themes, the front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page. 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. You cannot change this.

Re: social networking
WordPress.COM social network icons for sharing https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ you posts display the number of times people visited the actual post/page and clicked to share it. WordPress.COM does not have access to the share counts for shares made on the social networking sites themselves.
Also note this support doc for auto sharing https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
Your wordpress.com subscribers are found here

* Replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of the blog.
Note that the title there includes Publicize followers from social networks. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions
All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf. More to the point is the fact that when email addresses are submitted for the purpose of receiving blog updates that is the only purpose they can be used for.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe have a blog subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
The mailchimp and aweber pop-up subscription code provided by those source sites will not operate on WordPress.COM hosted sites. Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
