Question of format...

Ladies ~ I'm wondering if we might want to fore go the 'comments' and only use posts to avoid missing good thoughts in comments that I have on occasion missed?  Or perhaps I am the only one?  Or perhaps there is a way to make the comments show as they are written, but I have been unable to navigate that??  I'm going to make sure everyone can not only post, but also format in case someone who is more tech or blog savvy might be able to solve this...
