 * I downloaded Make tonight. I’m trying to turn off comments (on the whole site
   or, at least, on pages), but can’t seem to figure out how to do it.
 * Can someone help?

 * Did you try going to **Settings > Discussion** from the admin dashboard and unchecking
   _Allow people to post comments on new articles_? This will take care of any new
   posts or pages that you create.
 * To turn them off comments on existing posts, go to **Posts > All Posts**, then
   mark the checkbox next to _Title_ in order to select all of the posts which are
   listed, from the _Bulk Actions_ drop-down, select **Edit**, and click the **Apply**
   button. A _Bulk Edit_ dialog will appear. On the _Comments_ drop-down, select**
   Do not allow**, then click the _Update_ button. You can do the same for Pages
   as well.

 * For some reason, I don’t have a Discussion option under Settings.
 * I wound up adding a plugin that allows me to do it.
 * Thanks!
