   I have five posts published in my blog. When I published each post it came up individually in it's own page with a reader comment input at the bottoem.

   When I logged out and then returned to my blog to read one of my posts without logging in, all my five posts appear on the same page running together one after the other in a long scroll. At the bottom there was no reader comment input box also.

   How do I get my posts separated into its own individual page like it cam up when I first published them?

   Another question: how do you embed a video in the post?

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

   The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress and we cannot change this.

   Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme, comments are collapsed on the front page of your blog where our posts are "showcased". By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

   The reason for this structure is that in a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.

   Re: embedding videos
   WordPress.com currently support embedding videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, Flickr, DailyMotion, Viddler, Blip.tv, TED Talks, and Videolog. Click this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/ and then click through for specific instructions depending on where the video is from.
