  How can I keep the comments area from showing up on pages, but allow them on posts? It seems WordPress has these settings tangled up.

  It seems ridiculous to have comments on static pages like this one:

  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  We can also overide the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.

  Go to the top right hand corner of your Admin page and click “screen options” and enable the “Discussion” module there. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

  Pages > disable and enable comments > http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/#enabling-and-disabling-comments-using-the-discussion-module
  Edit page and under the editor box scroll down until you find the “Discussion Module”
  locate and disable these:
  Discussion
  __Allow comments.
  __Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.
  Click “update”
