Show comments instead of text balloon wit counter
-
Hi all,
I have just posted my first post on http://meetingspr.com/. I would like the posted comments, and the form to post a comment, to be visible by default, without having to click the text balloon with the comment counter on top of the post first.
How can I do this? I looked in Settings –> Discussion, which seems the logical place but I could not find it. Or is it just a setting in my Theme which I cannot change?
Any help is much appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How can I do this?
You can’t. 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 and you cannot change this. 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.
If you think your visitors will not know how to locate the link you can create instructions and post them in a text widget at the top of your sidebar or create a static page with commenting instructions on it.
