Got in touch with Weebly. They kindly replied. Here is the conversation:

I just want to know how to reply to comments on my blog. Sometimes, somehow, an invitation to "REPLY" comes up and permits me to reply, but I have no idea how I get that invitation to reply on the screen. And nothing here is helpful!

Hello,
When replying to comments on your blog posts, you must do so from your live website, not from within the Weebly editor. The links are not active in the editor, so you won't be able to reply there.
If you want your comment to show that you are an administrator for the site, you should first log in to your Weebly account, and then go to your published blog to make a comment. Your comment as an admin will be highlighted and set apart from the other commenters.
If you have any questions about this, please let me know and I'll get right back to you.
Thank you!

So, you see, my main problem now is to find out how to get on to my "live website" rather than the "Weebly editor". I thought I had it once; your comments came up under my piece, but the only option offered was to DELETE - which seemed rude. Aagh! Going to have to get back to the poor woman, aren't I? Already beginning to feel sorry for her . . .
