Thread: Turning off comments

Turning off comments

Dumb question I know... but I am just working my way through the start up docs. It mentions the following:

By default in WordPress, your comments will usually be turned on. This means anyone can post comments on your site. If you don’t want people to be able to post comments on your classified ads, then make sure to turn this option off within WordPress.

Is this the second check box down on 'Discussion Settings' in Wordpress? If not then where can I find it?

By switching this off surely I would be preventing people commenting on the blog too?? Hope not.

Cheers in advance.
