Difficulty seeing comment box

I just recently installed WP and am having difficulty viewing the comment box for posts. I can view the post with the comment box when selecting View Post from the Edit Post screen, but at no other time.

What I would like to do, if possible, is to use the post tag link so users can go to the individual posts and then make comment there. But I’m not having any luck, no matter what Permalink scheme I select, since the Tag link adds the /tag line to the link.

In other words, I can go directly to http://solidwalnut.com/blogpages/2011/11/29/sample-post/ and view the post and comment block, but not when linking to the post via the tag url (or via any other link), since the direct url then becomes http://solidwalnut.com/blogpages/tag/%slug%/

Thanks for the comments,

Steve
