Show Comments and Likes in Blog Posts Macro and Blog Tab

It would be extremely helpful to be able to display comments/likes in "Collapsed" mode in the Blog Posts Macro and/or in the Blog tab when browsing a space. Having to click on the post to see the comments is a lot of extra, unnecessary work. We are using the Blog function as a compact feed that should provide quick, easy-to-read information, and including the comments in the main display would greatly improve that function. A further improvement would be to make long blog posts collapsible, and/or if there are a lot of comments on a blog post, making the list of comments auto-collapse, but expandable.

Also, are there any work-arounds or changes to the code (copying the comments code and modifying it to be put in the blog posts source file?) that would make this possible in the short-term?
