 * I was wondering how to remove the typical “Leave a comment”, “posted by …” and
   such. I wanted to remove all the extra stuff under a post. How can I do this?

 * It all depends on your theme. At times, you just delete the call for the comments
   template in the `single.php` or sometimes more code has to be deleted.

 * If you’re looking to turn off commenting, you can do that through the dashboard.
   The default settings are under Settings > Discussion, but you can change this
   for individual Posts and Pages through their edit screens.

 * I just comment out what I don’t need, that way if I ever need it, I just remove
   the comments code and voila, it’s there for me to use.

 * hey mouseclicks,
 * could you tell me where most of this stuff is located? In general, what should
   I be looking for? Is there anything in particular?
 * I can comment the stuff out by putting ‘//’ in front of the code on each line,
   is that correct?

 * What I do is use php comments to comment out php code, like this:
 * Let’s say you wanted to comment this out:
 * <div class=”singleinfo”>
    <div class=”category”><?php the_category(‘, ‘); ?></
   div> </div>
 * First I comment out the php tag using php comments so it would look like this:
 * <div class=”singleinfo”>
    <div class=”category”><?php /*?><?php the_category(‘,‘);?
   ><?php */?> </div> </div>
 * Then I comment out the whole thing using html comment tags so it would look like
   this:
 * <!–<div class=”singleinfo”>
    <div class=”category”><?php /*?><?php the_category(‘,‘);?
   ><?php */?> </div> </div>–>
 * If I just use html tags, I don’t believe it will comment out properly, so that’s
   why the 2-step process. Someone more knowledgeable than me may have a simpler
   way to do this.
