function Comment(data) {
this.commenter = ko.observable(data.commenter);
this.comment = ko.observable(data.comment);
}
function BlogViewModel(data) {
var self = data;
self.title = data.title;
self.description = data.description;
self.comments = ko.observableArray(ko.utils.arrayMap(data.comments, function (com) {
return new Comment(com.commenter, com.comment);
}));
}
ko.applyBindings(new BlogViewModel(data));

Answer 1

You have multiple problems with your code some are related to KnockOut some of them are not:
Which are not related to KO:
In BlogViewModel the self variable should hold this not the data parameter: so it should be var self = this;
Your comment mapping is wrong: the new Comment(com.commenter, com.comment) should be new Comment(com)
Which are related to KO:
The value binding is used for input elements, you have labels so you need to use the text binding instead. E.g data-bind="text: title"
KO needs valid html. Because the self-closing label tag is not valid you need to add the closing tags to your labels e.g <label data-bind="text: description"></label>
Here is a working JSFiddle containg all the fixes.
