 * Thanks esmi. Unfortunately the new code didn’t make any difference. The sidebar
   appears on the main blog and static pages but not on the Archived or Recent Post
   pages. Any other ideas? I really do appreciate the help!

 * Thanks for the quick response esmi!
 * I’ve pasted the [Sidebar](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/aHDLF6D3) in the pastebin
   for perusal but the call to the _dynamic sidebar_ is already in it.
 * The dynamic sidebar _does _show up on the main blog posts and in the other Pages
   on the website. It just doesn’t show up when you click on a Recent Post or an
   Archives link. What would be causing that difference?

 * I switched the posts per page to 1 and that definitely helps. Still I would prefer
   that the comment fields show up on the default page instead of readers having
   to click the Comment link to go to the Single page. Can I make the Comment Form
   exist inside the Loop on the index template without causing havoc? If so, what
   line(s) of code would I add/change and where?
 * Thanks again esmi for all your help! I really appreciate it.

 * Thanks esmi for sticking with me on this. I had tested the plugin and theme change
   and that made no difference which is why I initially assumed I must have accidentally
   damaged the code while I was customizing.
 * After much examination I copied a line of code from right under the post title
   where a digit shows how many comments there are. I had not realized it was clickable
   because it was so small. So I embellished the copied version with text so that
   it’s large enough to click and pasted that below the content in the loop. That
   link goes to the single page where the comments _do_ show. Previously I didn’t
   even know what the single page looked like because I could never get there.
 * Is it possible to make the single page be the default view rather than the multiple-
   post view?

   in the prior posting. Here is the [correct single.php file](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/DTGmarAW).

 * Thanks esmi. Here is a link to the content of the [single.php file](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/kQCs4dZW):
 * I’m thinking, however, that the problem isn’t going to be in this file because
   I had never touched it until today. When I started editing the theme for my site
   back in January the Comments did work. The files I have edited are the index,
   header, footer, page, sidebar, and style but that’s it. Does that give any hints?

 * Thanks esmi. The single.php template does already include <?php comments_template();?
   > about 3 lines above endwhile.

 * Thanks for the information Ipstenu! From your comments I assume that Multisite
   is now becoming an integrated part of regular WP. If that is the case I’ll wait
   a little bit until it has become well-established and then upgrade. I’m not very
   daring where WP is concerned.

 * Thank you Ipstenu for the insight. I’ll keep an eye out for Multi-Site.
 * runnycustard, I didn’t solve the problem. For now I have it set up with a main
   blog and two sub-blogs on the same domain and I just log into each of the blogs
   separately. It’s ugly and I don’t recommend it, although it functions. But I 
   really couldn’t make heads or tails out of the WordPressMU codex which is written
   for an entirely different audience making it nearly impossible for a nube like
   me to sort out what about using WordPressMU mattered to me and what didn’t apply
   to my small-potatoes situation. (Way too much information!) It read as total 
   overkill at every turn so I abandoned the idea. I hope Multi-Site turns out to
   be more along the scale of what I need and can comprehend.
