  I just started a new Premium website (paid $99 for it) and I have a few questions I need help with:
  1) How do I remove the Reply box at the bottom of a page or all of the pages?
  2) I would like to create tables. How do I add the table functionality?
  3) I would like to create buttons (Like ET Box, ET Button, ET Tabs) How do I add that functionality?
  4) I have uploaded two PDF documents as media that I want to view in the browser by clicking a link. I cannot get it to do that, please help me with that procedure.

  Thank You

  How do I remove the Reply box at the bottom of a page or all of the pages?

  You can follow these instructions on how to remove the comment boxes http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments

  I would like to create tables. How do I add the table functionality?

  Take a look at: http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-html/#creating-a-tables

  3) I would like to create buttons (Like ET Box, ET Button, ET Tabs) How do I add that functionality?

  Could you please show me an example of this?

  I have uploaded two PDF documents as media that I want to view in the browser by clicking a link. I cannot get it to do that, please help me with that procedure.

  Uploading file on your WordPress.com site only allows you to insert a download link to a file. If you wish to embed the actual document into a post or page, you can use external services such as:

  Scribd: http://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/
  Slideshare: http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/slideshare/ (optimized for presentation slides)

  I do want to create a link to the PDF’s (not embed them). When I did that, they do not show up. Can you help me with how to create a link for PDF’s that are already uploaded in the media section?

  Ok, I know how to do HTML tables, but the others who will be keeping this site up to date don’t. Is there an add-in for a GUI table creator?

  For an example of the ET boxes, go to:
  http://www.new-england.k12.nd.us/home/powerschool/
  I am the tech coordinator for this school and our state provides us this website creation tool (which is wordpress based)

  BTW, the PDF’s do show up now, but they take me to an intermediary page. Can that be avoided (look at Events page on the neorlc.org site and click on Newsletter)

  I see that you have put two calendar links at http://neorlc.org/events/ that seem to work fine.

  You can follow the instructions at http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-html/#creating-a-tables on how to create tables in your Text Editor.

  Ok, so I created a table using HTML on this page:
  http://neorlc.org/about-us/council-members/
  and it is not showing up in the right place, but rather under all of the ancillary stuff like the search box and social media icons. How can I fix that?

  Thanks!
