Questions regarding comments to my blog

    I am brand new to blogging and I don’t know how the process works yet. I have two questions.

    First, when a reader responds to my blog, can other readers see the comments also?
    I logged onto my blog with another computer and it showed ‘2 comments’ but when I clicked on the ‘2 comments’ I was taken to the post that was commented on but I could’t see the comments? Can I make comments visble to all readers?

    Second, I responded to a comment made by a reader yet my comment is not visible to me – Why is this?

    I checked the settings and all boxes are checked off.

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

    Hi there,

    Welcome to WordPress.com :)

    First, when a reader responds to my blog, can other readers see the comments also?

    It depends. You control whether new comments appear on your site immediately, or whether they’re held for moderation and only appear after you approve them. You can find these options under My Site ->Settings ->Discussion.

    I logged onto my blog with another computer and it showed ‘2 comments’ but when I clicked on the ‘2 comments’ I was taken to the post that was commented on but I could’t see the comments? Can I make comments visble to all readers?

    Can you please give me a link to the post so I can take a look? If the site says there’s two comments, the comments should be visible. Comments being held for moderation aren’t shown in the comment count on the front page.

    Second, I responded to a comment made by a reader yet my comment is not visible to me – Why is this?

    It should be. Please give a link to the post where you made a comment so we can take a look.
