  Greetings:

  New guy here. Just getting into the world of blogging.

  The blog I want to create is more for other people’s comments than my own. As such, I’d like the comments (and the “leave a reply” form) to be visible right away when someone navigates to my blog vs. having to click the comments button. I’ve seen other blogs that act that way, but can’t seem to find the setting in here (if there is one) to change it.

  Am I a click away, or is there something I’m missing.

  Thanks

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

  The main reason this is not an option, is for ease of navigation. Consider a popular post with 50 or perhaps 100 comments. The visitors would have to scroll forever just to get to the next post. I have a couple blogs I follow that end up with sometimes 750 comments within a couple days, and some of those comments are very long.

  The P2 theme here allows you to show comments on the main page. That is the only theme that allows that.

  I’ll take a peek at the P2 theme.

  Thanks for your reply.
