  Some blogs have a message to their readers above the comments box. For example: ‘Don’t be shy, say Hi!’ Is this an option on all blogs and if so how do I do I add a message? I have checked the Help section and can’t seem to find the answer. Many thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  If you go to Settings>Discussion on your dashboard and scroll to the bottom you’ll see a box where you can change the default under “Comment Form” from “Leave a Reply”

  No worries! There are lots of different menus on the dashboard with lots of similar options–I’ve been using WordPress for 6 years and I still sometimes have to scroll through a couple of menus before I find the right one.

  Happy blogging!
