I don’t want a Blog I want a WEBSITE! How do I remove all the strange looking Blog stuff on the pages. Can I modify the html directly rather than clicking on buried links from within the dashboard to manipulate the html?

I don’t want a Blog I want a WEBSITE! How do I remove all the strange looking Blog stuff on the pages.
The main difference between a blog structure and website structure is the communication style. Blogs are post based structures that provide for and encourage interactive communication. Websites are page based structures that operate as a one-way noticeboards. A WordPress blog can either be structured as a page based website or its conventional post based structure can be retained. That’s why understanding the impact on SEO, backlinks and pagerank of choosing to create a page based structure is critical. Better Blogging at WordPress.com: Pages and Posts
Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page by creating a custom menu. A custom menu allows you to display Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages and custom links in your custom menu as well.

Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.
Depending on the theme we use when we close comments a phrase like “comments closed” or a similar phrase may appear and if so, it can only be removed by CSS editing after purchasing a custom design upgrade.Can I modify the html directly rather than clicking on buried links from within the dashboard to manipulate the html?
No you cannot. Please read this section > Custom Design > Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. You can choose to apply your custom fonts or custom stylesheet to any of the themes available on WordPress.com. Some themes, like the plain but versatile Sandbox and Toolbox, are blank canvases waiting for your custom fonts, CSS and images.WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: The Differences
