Totally Clueless and Getting Frustrated!
-
Hiya
I’m new to WP (moved from Blogger recently) and I’ll confess – I can’t understand a damned thing that’s going on here!! I can’t work out why every single page I set up seems to have a ‘Leave a reply’ section I can’t get rid of!! I don’t understand why my Widgets looks so weird (why isn’t there a FB logo for FB? Why isn’t there a Twitter symbol for Twitter?)
Surely it should be easier than this!? Sorry, I know I sound like a complete moron and a luddite! I’ve moved over because I’ve been led to believe WP is much better to use as a website and blog, but so far I can’t work out how to get the bloody thing to WORK!!
Help!! Please help!!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. Your visitors click the post tiles or the comment links or comment bubbles on the front page of the blog and they are directed to the full post appearing on it’s own page where the comment boxes appear at the end of the 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.

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
