  I would like to clean up the appearance of my page (all pages) by eliminating the box for users to ‘leave a reply’. How should I go about doing this?

  Thank you!

  This page > Settings > Discussion
  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.

  murkymarble.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.

  You will have to provide an active link to the blog in question starting with http:// in order to get help with CSS editing.

  Yes, I have purchased the custom design upgrade.
  How would I use CSS editing to eliminate the comments box from my entire blog/ website? http://www.daniellemcgee.com

  You do not need to use CSS editing to disable the appearance of comment boxes on posts or pages. See here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-remove-the-leave-a-reply-box-1?replies=4#post-733654
