 * Just wondering how I make it available for readers to leave comments. I feel 
   like I figured out how to activate it with Pages and tried the same thing with
   posts (as in Enabling Comments) but it doesn’t show up on the actual post page.
   Is there something I have to mess with on the theme to get it to show up?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-comments-field-to-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
