  Hello,
  I am a new blogger and wondering if it is possible to remove the html help text from the comments page?
  This appears as follows above the box where comments can be added:

  Leave a comment
  Line and paragraph breaks automatic, e-mail address never displayed, HTML allowed:

  <a href="" title="">   <b>
  <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

  Many thanks
  Chris

  It is part of the theme design. It indicates the html that can be used in comments.

  It’s part of the theme design and we cannot edit our templates http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/09/27/edit-my-templates/
