  Been reading about this for a half hour. Can someone simplify for me? I understand that using the “free” version I don’t have access to plugins to manage this. But the only options I see in discussion settings is to either have ALL comments on or NO comments on. I would like to disable comments on my static pages, but not on any other posts. Is this easily done somehow? What am I missing? Still trying to convince the boss to pony up for wp.org.

  Thank you!!

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

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

  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
