  I would like to set up a Reply section on one of my static pages.
  Rather than blog [dynamic page] I use static pages for my entries.

  I do not know how to do this. Is there anybody who could help me?

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

  All static pages have comments enabled by default unless you have disabled commenting.

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  I don’t think that I disabled it. Where in settings do I check?

  And, at the bottom of the static page, what does the icon look like?

  Shall I uncheck commenter must provide email and name?

  On other sites I have just seen something like “Leave a Reply”

  Shall I uncheck commenter must provide email and name?

  The options are two:

  1. Comment author must fill out name and e-mail – When this setting is on, anyone leaving a comment will be forced to leave a name and a valid email address. If the setting is off, visitors can leave anonymous comments.
  1. Users must be registered and logged in to comment – If this box is checked, only logged in WordPress.com users will be allowed to leave comments. If it is not checked, any visitor can leave a comment.

  I uncheck both, but in

  Before A Comment Appears

  Before a comment appears has two different settings. If the first setting is checked, all comments will go into moderation and they will need to be approved by an administrator before appearing on the blog. If the second option is checked, any visitors that have had a comment approved on the blog in the past will get a free pass through approval and only comments from new visitors will go into moderation.

  I check the second.

  Typo:

  Follow the instructions above:

  P.S.: The appearance of the text box (leave comments…) depends on the theme you use.

  I have been to that site and I think I have ticked all the boxes.

  So the appearance depends on your theme?

  Yep, only the appearance/design.
