Discussion

"Turning on" comments for a particular entry is easy. While creating or editing an entry, simply set the Allow Comments pulldown menu to Open. Depending on the display options you have set for the New/Edit Entry screen, this control may or may not be visible. Also depending upon the Default Settings for New Entries for the weblog, it may already be set to Open.

This control is dependent upon the comment access policy of the weblog. For instance, if comments are turned off, selecting Open in the Allow Comments pulldown will not turn them on.
