  Hello,
  I am usually not working with wordpress.com sites, but decided to create one to publish some content about me and my company Brandsense.
  – Is it possible to remove the comment section and the search function in the top right of the website?

  Link for the website: http://andreasjuhljakobsen.wordpress.com/

  Thanks in advance,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion

  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  I believe the only way to get rid of the search icon is to purchase a custom design upgrade and do the required CSS editing to hide it or remove it. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  Before you purchase the upgrade you can start a thread in the CSS Forum to ask those who help there if what you want to do can be accomplished with CSS editing or not. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform
