Page "move things right/left & up down" buttons not working.

Hi to all you patient, helpful Happiness Engineers! (Do you put that on your tax form under “employment?”
Today’s question is: can I delete the “leave a comment,” “leave a reply” from my home/about page (which is now one and the same)? -
You can disable comments following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/
-
And today’s question is:
Can I set the number of posts listed under each category? Currently, it shows about 5 titles, with an arrow for “older posts.” I would like to expand that. I’m sure there is a setting somewhere, but darned if I can find it!
Thanks! -

Whether or not full posts are displayed on Categories Pages and Archives pages is theme dependent ie. it’s coded into the template and we cannot edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/
In the majority of themes, posts on category or other archive pages show up just as they do on the main posts page in the blog and the number displayed is also the same. (See this page > Settings > Reading and note how many posts you choose there sets it for all). But in some themes only the beginnings of posts are shown, and in a few themes you only get titles or thumbnails. See here for a theme list of themes that may display the way you want > Category/archive pages: full posts or not http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/full-posts-in-archive-pages/
Here’s a comparison of the two “flavors” of WordPress http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

I’m not sure I made myself clear. When someone clicks on the category at the top of the home page, there’s a drop down of titles in that category. Right now, only 5 or so titles show up, and people have to hit the “older posts” arrow to see another 5 or so. I don’t want the full posts or excerpts to appear there, just more of the titles. Especially since with just that small handful showing up, the rest of the page is blank and it looks somewhat as though there are no more posts (unless they notice the “older posts” arrow).

And today’s problem is —-
I want to move my blog to another address. I tried to move it to severnwriter.wordpress.com using the My Blogs tool, but I got a message that the site is already reserved. I know it is; it’s mine. So I created a new blog: Fransevern.wordpress.com and tried to transfer franstravels to it. Same message. OK, I’m slow, but I now get it: I can’t move things to an existing blog. At least not without deleting that blog and starting over, which is getting ‘way out of my abilites and comfort zone.
So, Oh gurus of the gigabyte, how do I move franstravels to fransevern.wordpress.com?
Thanks in advance!! -
http://severnwriter.wordpress.com/ already exists, and you cannot change a blog’s address to one that already exists.
Instead, you can transfer your content by exporting/importing from the Tools section of the blogs’ Dashboards.
-
Damn! I got too clever. I thought the new blog had to exist. OK, let me try to import/export. Any clever tips I need to make it work?
(And welcome back!)

Nope, no clever tips really, just export/import. :)

Got it! Oh God, but I feel so empowered when I don’t totally screw things up!
NEXT QUESTION: I want to take my severnwriter.com domain from Earthlink and use that as my address with wordpress. Earthlink says I can “point the domain to wordpress be getting the DNS server from wordpress.”
Like I have any idea what that means. I read the domain mapping information, but I started hyperventilating as I read. How do I get a DNS, and what do I do when I get one?
Thanks, as always. -
You can do that following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
The name server changes are made through your domain registrar. If you have any trouble, you’ll need to ask them for help with that.
-
OK, Earthlink says the name server is in the hopper and will be completed between 24-72 hours. I found the rest of the instructions, thanks. Um, dumb question, but how will I know when the change is completed? Is there an e-mail or something?
-
They probably won’t send a notification, but I’m not 100% sure. Basically, you’ll know when you see your blog at the domain. Assuming you’ve mapped the domain already.
