Linking Issues

I just got finished the installing WP, and it was a breeze. Now I want to get into more techincal stuff.

I have my blog on my splash page, but don’t want any of the links going to the actual blog; like the comments.

Here is the code I have now.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> 

<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?> 

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
     <h3 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div> 

    <div class="storycontent">
        <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
    </div> 

    <div class="feedback">
            <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
            <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
    </div> 

</div> 

<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?> 

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
