Can anyone tell me how to display comments on the main blog page. (Right now they only appear on the individual post page). It's driving me crazy!!!!!!

Here's my blog: http://fiftyfab.com/?page_id=659

I just want the comments and the "submit comments" box to appear under each individual post... I feel like this must be a quick fix—that is for someone who actually knows what he/she is doing! (This is my first adventure in the wonderful world of wordpress.)

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much,

- John

They are only supposed to show up on the individual blog page. Unless I'm totally misreading your question I don't think Ive ever seen a blog where under each post on the main blog page was the submit comments box and the listing of comments. I don't know of any blogging software that will allow you to do that either.

Do you mean, a link to the comments and show how many comments are there that takes you to the comments area of the single blog entry?

Thanks for the reply, Malady. Now that I think of it, you're absolutely right! I guess I was just looking for a way to make the comment/discussion feature more obvious and prominent on main blog page. Right now it just says "0 Comments" in tiny type at the top. It would be nice to have more of a call to action. I like the little blup comment count option if only I could replace all the 0's with a "Comment on this Post Link."

Any ideas along those lines?

Thanks so much for the help—I really appreciate it!

Best regards,

John

there are 3 ways to show comment counts.

1. Post Meta Information : Comments.
2. Post Meta Information : Comment Icon.
3. Show Post a Comment Link (after read more).

Thanks for the clarification. I changed the meta info and I think it is much more functional now.

Regards,
