Why is there nothing to click on for visitors to enter comments?
-
People are finding it hard to post comments. When you mouse over the comment title nothing happens. Visitors have to click on the word portion of an existing comment to add a comment. I would have thought that there would be something more obvious to click on to enter a comment. I have both ‘show a follow comment’ and ‘show a follow blog’ boxes checked in discussion setting. Please advise. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.

Hey timethief,
Thanks for the good wishes. I’d like to ask a favor. Could you just have a look at what I entered in the text widget? Is this clear and simple enough?I’d appreciate any input you’d have.
Also, I just visited onecoolsite. What a ton of info!
