  Hi all,
  Question regarding the Sketch theme, which I love. I have a static “home” page. I titled it Home because otherwise it appears in the menu as “#40(no title).” But I want to get rid of the word “Home” that appears on the homepage. It’s awkward looking.

  Many thanks, and let me know if I need to be clearer.

  If you have the custom design upgrade, you can remove the word “home” from the home page (without impacting the titles on the other pages) by using the code below in the CSS box in your customizer menu.

  .home .entry-title{
      display: none;
  }

  Any chance you know how to disable comments on the front page (a static page for me)?

  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.

  Important 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

  Aha! There it is. Thank you very much. Another q – can I remove the theme name and/or “blog at wordpress” plug at the bottom of my pages? I searched the forums and found one answer but for another theme.

  I’m afraid removing the information you are asking to remove must remain on our site. Here’s a little more info from the custom design FAQ:

  May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?

  All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links in the footer, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. Using CSS, you can also add content like a copyright notice to the existing footer. If you would like to do that, you can ask in the CSS Customization forum and Staff or our community volunteers would be happy to help you do that.

  You are allowed to make changes to the font size or color to make it better match your site, so long as it is still legible.
