  Even though I enabled comments, and I approved most of those I received,they do not show up on my blog pages. What am I doing wrong?

  Your comments seem to be appearing just fine.

  For example http://umandel.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-hotel-baudy-giverny/

  Also, the comment that you just approved from “web 2.0” is definitely spam.

  Thanks! I didn’t know that web 2.0 might mean Spam. I’m one of those technically challenged persons. I’ve removed it. But, thanks for letting me know that the comments do appear on my blog, I just wish I knew where. When I pull up my blog without signing in I can’t see them. But I shall do so again now and see what happens. Thanks again.

  You should be able to see one toward the bottom of this page, for example:
  http://umandel.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-hotel-baudy-giverny/

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)

  I feel as if we were putting a puzzle together here. I pulled my site up again, and again, no comments. Finally, I spotted the words “1 Comment” in red. Ah. I clicked on it, and all my comments came up. I congratulated myself. And thanks to my WordPress elves above. But — posts by others I have read show the comments instantly without that I have to click on a Comment in Red. But and also — I just hit my refresh button to see if this would bring up the comments instantly once I open the site. So — let’s see what happens the next time around.

  Are you looking at just the front page of your blog, or the specific post pages, like http://umandel.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-hotel-baudy-giverny/ and scrolling down to the comments section?

  Oh, dear. I’ve done it all. I looked at the end of each post both with a magnifying glass and a fine-toothed comb. I have carefully, at snail’s pace, scrolled through all my posts and, getting to end of them all, hoped like mad that all the comments were congregated there. But no such luck. Or, in other words, I have studied my blog posts backward and forewards. My only luck has been to find this one sign post “1 Comment” in red, and when I clicked on that, here they all were, at the appropriate posts. I shall check again. But first, I have to check the laundry.
