  If I write a regular post, and then at some point decide I want that entry as a page instead, is there some way to change the status of it from the dashboard? Or do I have to copy and the content of the post and then open a new page and paste it there?

  AFAIK, that’s what you’d have to do.

  It would be nice if there was a way to switch it over in the dashboard so that we could keep the comments already made with it.

  Pages sit outside the blog structure so what you suggest is not readily accomplished. On the other hand, it only takes moments to copy and paste.

  When you copy the comments on the post, copy the whole thing and just paste it as-is into the Write Page box. It worked like a charm for me, looks almost identical to comments made normally.
