  Hi,

  I have now set up 4 pages on my new blog. Three static, one of which is the home page and a fourth which is set as my blog/posting page.

  I am able to add or remove the leave a reply box on the three static pages but I cannot get one to show on the blog page.

  All the pages are blank at present as I am trying to get it set up correctly before posting. I have left the four pages visible to assist with suggestions.

  I have created a leave reply box on the “My Garden” page to display what I’m trying to say.

  It may be that a post has to be made before the box appears. I have tried the FAQ’s but it’s not clear. (At this time of night)

  Thanks in anticipation.

  Mahalo

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

  By default your blogs page displays all your posts and you have not published any posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on that page of your blog appeared because you deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  By default comments are open on all static Pages and Posts in WordPress blogs. This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/
  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/

  In this case the Blog page is the dynamic page for Posts and the comments will appear on the individual Posts.

  Hi Timethief,

  thanks for getting back so promptly. I’m not getting a 404 error as I know it but an seeing the page not found.

  I have posted “Hello World” and the the leave reply box populated the page.

  I’m fairly new to WP and after fighting a losing battle with another template yesterday i think I’m getting there.

  Many thanks for your help

  Hi Timethief,

  yes thanks. I have tried to get rid of the -2 but I am assuming it’s because I have created a new page called blog and set it as the posting page.

  Again thank you. Time to crash

  About the 2. It’s an indication the you have another page with the same title that you deleted.
