  Is it possible to remove the comment box off the main page (home), and if so, how is it done? I’ve basically been trying to find the answer for about an hour, to no avail.

  Also, is it possible to italicize the word “presents” in my header title (without italicizing any other words?)

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page and posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

  A static page (select below)

  You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Important Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  This part is not possible. I don’t know of a way to change just one word in a string with CSS only without editing HTML, and WordPress.com does not offer the option to add HTML into the header title. Apologies I don’t have a better solution for you!
