The moment she asks how, you'll know it's difficult. If she finds it after a long period, it can be found but not very visible. :) Wish you luck and do let me know of the outcome. :)

James: Not necessarily CSS Naked Day. A visible button which says 'Leave a comment' or 'Click to Comment' will suffice enough. When I remember using MovableType it was always Click to Comment | # Comments. One goes to the form while one allows the person to read the comments. Again, this is a challenging scenario for some because if you go to the comment form you'll skip the other constructive criticism left behind. If you read from the 1st comment, the user will most likely find their way to the form later. A 'defensive' design is to have Skip to Comment Form in the comment area so it gives the user a 'shortcut'. :) Edrei:
