   How can comments go direct to my blog's post?

   The blog I need help with is retiredinthephilippines.wordpress.com.

   You don't have to require a log-in or an email address from commenters, but if you don't then you have flung doors to your blog wide open to spammers. See more on that at the end of my comment please.

   This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

   Discussion Settings
   Other comment settings
   _Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
   _Users must be registered and logged in to comment

   Note that the prompt to submit and email address and a website URL will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required.

   You can post instructions for your visitors in a text widget if you wish to set up anonymous commenting. That's easy to do. You copy and paste this into a text widget:

   Readers: Note that the email address and logging in prompts do appear for comments on this blog, but providing an email address and logging in are not required.

   P.S. Do be sure to set up full comment moderation ie. "An administrator must always approve the comment" because anonymous commenting is bound to increase the amount of spam your blog will receive.
