   First, I am far from a skilled developer. I am using wordpress to build a website (not a blog). I have everything set, but I do not want to use the home page that is built into the twenty eleven theme. I would prefer to simply delete it and use my own homepage. Please advise how I can do this.

   If it is just the blog posts you are looking to eliminate, I think this is the info you are looking for. http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page. It details how to set a page (of your choice) as a static front page, but you can still edit the content from the dashboard.

   Thank you BrianWK that is exactly what i was trying to accomplish. My final question (for now at least) is how do I remove the "Leave a Reply" Comment box at the bottom of every page?

   Under your dashboard, click on pages. Hover over each page and click 'quick edit'. Uncheck the box that says 'allow comments' and the "Leave a comment" link should disappear. It may still be there until you are logged out of your wordpress site. What the public sees is sometimes different than what an admin sees.
