  Hi,

  Is it possible to discover the single page on the same page of the blog: when we clic on the “read more” we discover on the same page the rest of the article.

  Thanks

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

  That’s what “read more” is supposed to mean and do: continue with the rest of the article. If you wish to go form the blog front to the beginning of a post, you click the title of the post.

  Yes but is it possible to stay on the same page of the article? Like a scrolling page?

  The blog linked to your username is empty. Will you please post an active link to the blog in question so accurate answers can be provided?

  If you are referring to a free hosted WordPress.com blog then I’m sorry but the answer is “no”. Unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme, the front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

  In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.

  Hi,

  I found a wordpress theme: http://themetrust.com/demos/solo/

  It’s exactly what I want to do! A single page portfolio with a smooth jQuery effects to see the post.
  How can I do that on my wordpress blog?

  Thanks

  We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM. We are limited to the 145+ (and growing) themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

  Themes at wordpress.COM have to be modified to work within the restrictions here and to support the unique features. Themes straight off the internet (which are for self-hosted blogs) will not work here.

  The differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org sites.

  To use that theme you would have to self-host your site on a third-party hosting service such as dreamhost, bluehost, etc., using the software from wordpress.ORG. Figure an average monthly cost, all things considered, of $10 to $25 depending on your requirements.
