I can't figure out how to enable people to post on every other page except "About."
I have the "Allow comments." check box checked but still can not make comments.

– I just made a test comment on http://www.bddinsurance.com/blog/?p=74
– you currently have comment moderation turned on so comments will not appear without being approved first

Also, does anyone know how we can remove "Filed Under (General) by admin"

it depends on your theme, but go into all the .php files (start with index.php, page.php, single.php, and archive.php) and remove <div class="end_title">SOME-CODE-HERE</div>

How well do you know PHP?

You’ll need to use the query_posts() function

I’d either not allow individual users to modify themes or create a new Child Theme whenever a user wanted to change the default look/behavior of an available theme.

How well do you understand WordPress theme development (PHP/XHTML/CSS)?

I’d recommend examining the theme files of http://www.woothemes.com/demo/?name=themorningafter or another similar theme

you should be able to something like the following to your theme’s style.css file:

.single_post, .single_page {
    background-image: url('http://path/to/image.jpg') !important;
}

OR

.single_post, .single_page {
    background-color: #000  !important;
}

note:
– the !important part might not be necessary
– see http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp#table1 for more options if using background-image

You’ll need to copy the following code from the 2010 theme files into the new theme CSS file:

twentyten/style.css:
#content .gallery {
	margin: 0 auto 18px;
}
#content .gallery .gallery-item {
	margin-top: 0;
	text-align: center;
	width: 33%;
}
#content .gallery img {
	border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
#content .gallery .gallery-caption {
	color: #888;
	font-size: 12px;
	margin: 0 0 12px;
}
#content .gallery dl {
	margin: 0;
}
#content .gallery img {
	border: 10px solid #f1f1f1;
}
#content .gallery br+br {
	display: none;
}

/twentyten/rtl.css:
#content .gallery .gallery-caption {
	margin-right: 0;
}

#content .gallery .gallery-item {
	float: right;
}

*Note that this might not work 100% if the new theme uses different xhtml class and id names.

For me running a webserver from home for test purposes how would I make this right?

— I don’t understand your question

http:xxx.xx.xxx/wordpress

— try removing /wordpress

I know this is in a config thing but where?!

— it’s set in the wp_options table (you may have changed the wp_ prefix when you installed WP) of the mySQL database
