    just beginning wp. Am developing a site to showcase art events for several venues that coordinate one day per month to have free shows. It seems as though I should set up a static home page that incorporates at least one new post per month that give the monthly schedule. Is this possible. The static home page would include information about the organization as well as links (with their logos) to each participating venue’s website. May also incorporate a news feature that could link to a page update periodically featuring one of the venues. Would I set up a static home page to accomplish this. Also don’t want viewers/readers to be able to comment. Can I turn off comments? Sorry for the ignorance; just brand new to word press. Thank you for all suggestions as to how to best accomplish this.

    Can I turn off comments?

    Of course! 🙂

    Uncheck Allow people to post comments on on the Settings > Discussion panel, then you have disabled comments on future posts.

    If you have existing posts, you will have to edit each past post and uncheck Allow Comments from the Write Post SubPanel.

    Alternatively, you could delete the wp-comments-post.php file, or run this MySQL query, from the command line on a shell account, or using phpMyAdmin: UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status="closed";
