WHEN THEY MAKE IT JUST RIGHT

see the little 0? That tells you and others there are no comments. Clicking on it will take you to comments form
is that what you mean or do you want the comments form under all posts even on front page?

I am new so pardon any dumb questions 😉
I assumed that after my post I would see a spot for ‘leave a comment’. If I were to click on ‘recent posts’ to see the same post I see that information, but not on the homepage.
You could change that in your theme from 0 to … anything you want 🙂

Where?! I didn’t do anything (i think) to make that info appear on the recent posts page. Where and how do I make it appear on the homepage? I only see info about how many posts to show……
your theme isn’t set up to do that on your index page – only on single pages. It has the number of comments (mentioned above) by the date right under post title. Clicking on that takes you to the single post view comment form.
If you want the comment form on index page, open your theme’s index.php and add this line right after the_content code
<?php comments_template(); ?>
It shows up on your individual post pages because that’s how the comments.php file is set up.
You can edit your theme’s index.php to say ‘Leave a Reply’ instead of the number for comments. Bear in mind, your site is locked. Only registered members can comment. So … most people can’t reply without signing up. 🙂
I’d suggest instead putting excerpts on your front page, and letting people click to read more of the post, where the reply setup is already there.

Ok, how do I edit my index.php to ‘leave a reply’ and can it also have the number of comments showing as well?

Sorry I missed your specific instruction above. When I open the index.php this line of code already exists right after the closing <div> for the post code.
Should it be somewhere else?

did you mean after this line?
<?php the_content(''.__('Read More <span class="meta-nav">»</span>', 'sandbox').''); ?>

Wondering why this crucial part does not follow my initial post (still building site). I can see it when I click on the ‘recent posts’ part, but should this follow all posts automatically?
