a comment link does not show up on my blog. you have to click on the post name for the comment section to come up at all. how do i get that link to show up under every post?

Even on posts where I have many comments, the comment link does not appear properly and rather only says "Comments".
Also, I tried setting up in Comment Layout the drop out but the comment link keeps on bringing me simply to the page of the post.
