Comments on Blaskan Theme – please help

Hello everyone. I am new to self hosted blogs, only put my new site up in the last week, though I’ve had a few ordinary WordPress sites before.

Info: bravenewworld.com.au, I am running the Blaskan theme, hosted through Panthur if it makes a difference

All was ok until I noticed the comment box appearing on my home page – a static page. I edited the comments.php (through instructions found on a wordpress forum) to remove the comment box and the text underneath from pages, however I believe I have taken out the ability to have comments on posts too* 😐
(*rookie)

I need to enable comments to appear on posts only – without all that ‘you can use html code blah blah’ at the bottom of the comments box. I just want it to say ‘Leave a comment’ and then have the comment box there for them to use, and previous comments to appear underneath.

If anyone can help – this is the current code that is filed under the comment.php now:

<section id="comments">
	<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
		<p class="nopassword"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'blaskan' ); ?></p>
		</section>
		<!-- /#comments -->
		<?php return; ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
		<h1 id="comments-title"><?php printf( _n( __( 'One comment', 'blaskan' ), __( '%1$s comments', 'blaskan' ), get_comments_number(), 'blaskan' ), number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ) ); ?></h1>

		<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : ?>
			<nav class="post-nav" role="navigation">
				<div class="previous"><?php previous_comments_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older Comments', 'blaskan' ) ); ?></div>
				<div class="next"><?php next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'blaskan' ) ); ?></div>
			</nav>
			<!-- / .post-nav -->
		<?php endif; ?>

		<ol id="comment-list"><?php wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'blaskan_comment' ) ); ?></ol>

		<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : ?>
			<footer>
				<nav class="post-nav" role="navigation">
					<div class="previous"><?php previous_comments_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older Comments', 'blaskan' ) ); ?></div>
					<div class="next"><?php next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'blaskan' ) ); ?></div>
				</nav>
				<!-- / .post-nav -->
			</footer>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<?php if ( ! comments_open() && ! is_page() ) : ?>
			<p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'blaskan' ); ?></p>
		<?php endif;?>

	<?php endif; // end have_comments() ?>

	<?php
	$commentform = array(

	comment_form( $commentform );
	?>

</section>
<!-- / #comments -->

BTW I hope that I have used the code entering button correctly, excuse me if it hasn’t worked properly – I have seen how people don’t like lots of code on forum pages so am *trying* to do the right thing 🙂 [If I haven’t let me know how please.]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
