  Is there a way to move comments made using the ‘contact me’ form over to a blog post comment area? I have 19 I need to move because readers cannot seem to find the comment button on a post. The only options I see on that comments area is bulk spam or bulk trash, and these are good comments I’d like to keep and have show on the blog.

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

  No there isn’t. The contact form is meant for private communication purposes only. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ To comment on any post or page your visitors have to click the post or page title and scroll to the bottom of the page.

  This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  Discussion Settings
  Other comment settings
  _Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
  _Users must be registered and logged in to comment

  Note that the prompt to submit and email address and a website URL will still appear, but providing an email address and logging in are not required, and you cannot change this so the prompt does not appear.

  You can post instructions for your visitors in a text widget and display it at the top of your sidebar if you wish. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  P.S. Do be sure to set up full comment moderation ie. “An administrator must always approve the comment” because anonymous commenting is bound to increase the amount of spam your blog will receive.
