Re: Getting favicon to appear
You can simply upload the favicon.ico image to your website root directory. Then put this code
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
between your <head> tags, specifically in the header.php
For disabling the comments section, you can edit/delete this code
Code:
<?php comments_template('',true); ?>
in the single post.php
There might other ways to do this too.
