Hi - I host with bluehost and use cpanel for everything. I am new to developing my own site and using Misty Look theme to edit code to suit my needs.
My issue: when you visit my homepage you are asked to login. I do not want visitors to log in.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If your theme supports widgets, you can just remove the "Meta" option from the sidebar by going to Design, then Widgets, from your WP Admin panel.
Otherwise you'll have to go to Design, then to Theme Editor and edit your sidebar and remove or comment out some code which should look something like this:
<?php wp_meta(); ?>

Oops, that didn't turn out properly, lets try it again, if it fails, just know that it starts with an li tag and ends with an li tag and has the word 'Meta' listed in it:
<li><h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<li><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional"><?php _e('Valid'); ?> <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
<li><a href="http://Antbag.com/" title="Theme by Anthony Baggett">Antbag.com</a></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>

Un-tick the box, "Users must be registered and logged in to comment".
Hopefully that'll get you going.
