I am a complete newbie to wordpress and I apologize if my questions has been asked before but searching through the forum is real hard for me due to the internet speed in my country.

1) I am trying to make a eCommerce website, to be precise a tourism company website and hence I was wondering if I can remove the ' comments ' section from my site? Will the comments part be auto removed if I buy my own domain?

2) The installer from wordpress.org, can that be used to edit my blog on wordpress.com? Is it easier and faster or is it same as the edit feature on wordpress.com?

Thank you very much

In fact, previewing the draft shows the comment box too.

It might have been a weird hiccup that caused this as I can't seem to replicate the problem. If this happens again, leave the post published as is and contact us again so we can see what is causing this to happen.

Also, feel free to delete that draft post.

Let me know if you have any questions.

But these two options won't allow commenting on already published posts if commenting was disabled (either in the Discussion settings or on each individual post) when you published those posts. So next you need to go to Posts > All Posts, click Quick Edit under the title of each post, and make sure the options "Allow Comments" and "Allow Pings " are checked; or (faster) tick the little square next to "Title" to select all the posts, select Edit in the Bulk Actions pulldown, click Apply, select "Allow" in the Comments and Pings pulldowns, click Update.
