  Can you give me some more details about what you’re having trouble with? I’m not exactly sure what Minnow is. Is that a browser? Or a mobile app? Can you give me a link to the page that you can’t display comments on?

  Dear Shawn,

  Thank you for responding so quickly. “Minnow” is a WordPress theme design offered by WordPress. There is a small button for comments on the left side of the post (http://wolfprusan.wordpress.com) but I really want the comments to follow the post on the same page. Is there is a better theme for me to use that posts comments on the first page of the blog?

  Respectfully,

  Peretz

  Thanks for the follow up Peretz! Duh, your theme. I should have thought of that. :)

  None of our themes display the comments as part of the recent posts page. We do this to keep the front page free of clutter. There’s no way to change this on WordPress.com.

  Let me know if you have more questions!

  First, thank you for clarifying the WordPress esthetic. I will stop trying to fiddle around and fix what is not broken. One last question on this issue: Is there anyway to make the text “comments” larger?

  Definitely! You have a few options.

  First, to make all of the links along the side larger:

  .entry-meta {
  	font-size: 16px;
  }

  Second, to make all of the links along the side larger, but only on the front page (so this won’t affect single post pages):

  .home .entry-meta {
  	font-size: 16px;
  }

  Lastly, to only make the comments link larger:

  .comments-link {
  	font-size: 16px;
  }

  Try them out to see which one you like best! You can change the font size as you like. Acceptable units are px, em, pt, and %.

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. :)

  Talk to me like a child exploring WordPress: Where do I enter these codes?

  Sorry! I totally should have included that. Head into your Customizer:

  https://wolfprusan.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php

  There’s a pane titled CSS. You can remove everything in there and just put the code I gave you. :)
