rdub, that’s right how it is. Unless you want to modify your blog to a specific need or something. =) But they do that, so everytime you post a “topic” or “post” you’re not flooding the index page and other pages with tons of comments right below the actual posts. It’s to keep things more organized for you and your viewers. =)Unless, I’m misunderstanding you or something…
And the comments are under the “topic (you meant post, right?) on their own page. Every post has its own comments shown when viewed in single post view.
