  Why isn’t it posible to have a comments field after each blog post in the home page?

  I thinkt it should be as easy as posible for blog readers to writ comments, and the most logic way is to have an opportunity to do so directly after they have read the post. Right now they have either to go back to the top of the post and click on the comment symbol or click on the subject and read the post in an individual window. I can’t find any settings to change the options to a more easy way for making comments. Or have I missed something?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Click any post title and scroll to the end of the post http://finafamiljen.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/barnhemsforvirring-och-nya-slaktingar/

  The way your theme and blog are functioning is the norm. Unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme, know that the front pages of our blogs “showcase content” and comments are collapsed on that page. You cannot change this. 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. If comments were not collapsed on the front page of the blog the page would be miles long and take ages to load.

  I have nearly 1000 posts in my blog. Imagine how long the page loading time wold be if every comment one very post in my blog made over the last 7 years displayed. I wouldn’t have any readers because they would be so peeved off at the lengthy page loading time they would click out before the blog loaded.

  Also note that to display excerpts of posts only on the front page of the blog followed by read more links visitors can use to click to read the full post on its own page you can insert the more tag into your posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ That will reduce page loading time. Don’t forget that many are still on dial-up service and they pay for every minute it takes to load the blog.
