  I am not very blog let alone compute savvy. I have a blog site, when people read my blog these is no where for them to click leave a reply/comment. How do I set this up so it appears under each post I publish?

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

  You can set the default setting for new posts under Settings ->Discussion in the dashboard. Tick the box next to “Allow people to post comments on new articles” and save changes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#default-article-settings You may also consider activating comment moderation if it isn’t already, and requiring users to be logged in or at the very least leave an email address in order to comment. It’s all explained in that support doc and this one: http://en.support.wordpress.com/who-can-comment/

  For already published posts you’ll have to go back and edit them to enable comments. You can do that using the Quick Edit or the Bulk Edit option from the Posts ->All Posts screen in the dashboard: http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/
