How do I control the comments, reading, and writing settings on my blog?
All of the controls for reading, writing, and commenting are housed within the Options tab in the administrative backend of your blog. For example, using the reading options will allow you to create a static front page for your site rather than the default blog. You can also use the discussion tab to turn off comments on your blog, etc. For more detailed information go here.
