 * Can someone tell me how to do a basic if…else statement in php? What I want to
   do is within the loop, create a statement that checks which category a post is
   coming from, and if it comes from a certain category (my “about” category), then
   display the post without the comment/feedback stuff, and if the post is not from
   that category, then display the post with all the normal stuff.

 * Thanks for the link. I’m trying to do it php, though. I’ve created an about page
   that’s hidden from the categories list, but all I want to do is get rid of the“
   comments” and “leave a comment” info when I call that post. There’s no way to
   do this easily?

 * Can’t you just uncheck Allow Comments in the related posts??

 * I’m a raw beginner. I’m now online , operating and posting (whew) and want to
   go further. Need 1,2,3, steps description on how to add pictures and graphics
   to my site. Also where can I go to get a glossary of blog terms?

 * Unchecking “Allow Comments” just takes away the comments themselves, not the 
   title of the section “comments” or the “leave a comment” title either. I want
   to get rid of those design elements themselves. Which is stuff that’s listed 
   under the div=post
