Why can't I see the comments left on a post?
-
I cannot see the comments people leave about my posts. On other blogs I follow, they comment box appears at the bottom of a post and everyone can see the comments. Why can’t I see mine. I check the setting as per enabling/disabling discussions, but that didn’t change things.
Please provide step-by-step info on how to see the comments people leave directly following my posts.
Sincerely,
Linda Thompson

Your blog is operating correctly. Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme comments are collapsed on the front page of the blog. 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.
If you are concerned readers will not find the comments section you can use a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ to tell them how to do that and place it at the top of your sidebar.
