 * I just noticed after posting a few that there is no where for people to leave
   comments?? I’ve checked all of the places it might be turned off or something–
   but nothing?? HELP?

 * By default, comments only appear on posts or pages, not on homepage of your website.
 * For example:
    [http://themorningsideoflife.ca/2015/08/05/birds-glorious-birds/](http://themorningsideoflife.ca/2015/08/05/birds-glorious-birds/)
   This is a post, you can comment.

 * Thanks for the link…because you do not split your post with a “Read More” button(
   or link) from the editor, the comments are only shown when the person clicks 
   on the post title. This is actually how the blog works when you don’t insert 
   a read more tag with WordPress…normally themes are not coded that way and will
   only show the comment form on the full post by clicking on the post title or 
   a Read More button or link.
 * If the comment form were to show up in each of the blog home page posts as you
   have them displayed right now, you would end up with not only multiple forms,
   but all the comments for each post.
 * For your site, here is an example when I click on the An Orange Morph House…title:
 * [http://themorningsideoflife.ca/2015/08/04/orange-morph-house-finch-visit/](http://themorningsideoflife.ca/2015/08/04/orange-morph-house-finch-visit/)
 * By the way, those are amazing photos!
 * As a side note, if you decide to put in a Read More link but not sure how that
   is done, there is a tutorial to show you how this is done: [Insert Read More](https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/view-all/)

 * @both
 * You can comment on homepage but that needs tweaks, Shaped Pixels explains that
   much better than me.
 * Have fun with WP,

 * Thanks everyone, I do recall how to do the ‘read more’ but I follow lots of similar
   blogs and they never require me to change the page to read all of the posts and
   view all of the photos by scrolling.
 * I’ve used wordpress for many years and I guess I was never limited by a theme
   this way before – by luck I guess….
 * I really want comments on my main page of posts – attached to each post. I don’t
   wish for people to only see part of a post unless the click to open a new page….
   is this not possible with this theme at all?

 * Hello Morningsider,
 * `I've used wordpress for many years and I guess I was never limited by a theme
   this way before - by luck I guess....`
 * One comment, in fact it’s not a limit, it’s totally possible because WP is now
   more powerful than in the past. You can perfectly create a home-made homepage
   with whatever you want.
 * Second comment, unfortunately I don’t do theme support, so I guess you would 
   have to ask your theme author. I would add that now you can put disqus or stuff
   widget – easy WP plugins.

 * I looked at disqus but they make you sign up for things and have a site with 
   them… I want a no strings solution…. I tried the widgets as you said but don’t
   see anything to show comments on main blog… 🙁

 * Hi Morningsider…..I’ve never seen a theme that has the comment form and comments
   on the blog home page for each post, but if you have one for example, could you
   please post it? I would be interested to see how they did that.
 * The only method I could think of is to have a “link” that would send the reader
   to the full post view, where they can then place their comments.
 * But, I’d still be interested in seeing examples where you have used a theme that
   does what you are inquiring about. Perhaps it could be something I can add to
   the current theme update as theme option that is waiting to go live. If so, I
   could get you the update much quicker.

 * I agree, built-in comment widgets are not perfect, far from it.. But that’s a
   quick fix. Anyways, the best is to make your own WordPress Plugin I think.. Something
   I lack of php skills greatly :'(
 * Now, your specific question needs, to my humble opinion, a little custom work
   to be able to comment by drag & drop (hard to see without a sketch) on each post
   on home page. Like I said, everything is possible with Jquery now, and WP is 
   more customizable than ever.
 * Idea :
    1) Create one single-homepage.php 2) Make relevant responsive CSS 3) 
   Make single-homepage.php as front page 4) Create the relevant Jquery actions/
   events while clicking $post1,$post2 so on 5) Make the fluff async 6) Enjoy
 * Good luck,
