  Hello, I’m new to WordPress but learning something new everyday. I’m wondering if I can get rid off the area below my posts so no one can post a comment. Is there a way to have that part available in some pages and not all?

  Thanks

  Ed

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

  This is not a theme specific issue. 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.
  When we close comments a phrase like “comments closed” or a similar phrase will appear and it can only be removed by CSS editing after purchasing a custom design upgrade.

  Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  What’s critical is:
  (1) choosing a theme that has a horizontal menu
  (2) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  (3) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

  A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and custom links in your custom menu as well.

  Also note that you can create a static front page ie. “landing page” if you wish.
