Why can't I get the menu to show up & remove the "reply" space off every page?
-
Hello. I have followed all the steps you provide for setting up my site as a website versus a blog. I managed to create a “static” home page, but I cannot get rid of the “leave a reply” on any of the pages. Help, please. Also, I have gone through all of the steps to have the “menu” displayed and it is not. Help again, please! Thank you.

You can disable comments following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/
As for the menu, you have built it, but you need to set it as your primary menu. Check in the top-left corner of Appearance -> Menus in your blog’s Dashboard.

Dear Happiness Engineer- Thank you for your response to my two issues. However, I have tried several times, specifically following the directions, to corrdct the issues and nothing happens. Is there a “bug” or something preventing the steps from happening? Is it because I am working with a specific theme that I can not change things? Should I scrap everything and start over? This is my 2nd attempt, after trying to create a personal theme, and things are not working. Is WordPress.com having issues? Again, any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

At Appearance -> Menus, you still have not yet set your primary menu.
See this screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/1P151b3V1806

Please believe me when I say I appreciate your help, but this is what I see when I go to appearance-> Menus
https://deanabagley.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.phpI don’t believe WordPress is functioning properly.
Any other advice?

You’re nearly there. In the Theme Locations box, where it says “Your theme supports 1 menu. Select which menu you would like to use.” – you need to select your menu (titled “Menu”) from the drop-down list, and then click the blue “Save” button.

Boy, there is just such a disconnect for me. I have saved the screenshot to media for you to see it: http://deanabagley.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/my-dashboard.jpg
I am not seeing the things you guys are trying to direct me to.
All of your assistance is truly and greatly appreciated. I’m working on not being frustrated.
-
Hm, that is very odd.
Click the Screen Options tab near the top-right and make sure that “Theme Locations” is checked.

The heavens opened and the angels sang!
Much thanks to one and all for your assistance on the menu. I “FINALLY” got it! Blessings to All.Now I just need to remove the “leave a reply” area and we’ll be all set. Again, any help is greatly appreciated!

Wow! A new issue. My “Home” page is picking up the info from my “Readings” page. I don’t believe I have done anything to connect them. What’s up?
-
At Settings -> Reading in your blog’s Dashboard, you have chosen to use a static (non-blog) front page, but have not selected one, so Readings is just being filled in for you automatically.
You’ll need to select something for both values.
