First Wordpress Blog (help me!)

    Ok so ironically my site is based around web development; http://www.klikkit.co.uk/ but I've never worked with Wordpress' blogging side.

    I want to have a link in my navbar 'blogs' that lists my latest blogs with images and summaries in a format similar to: http://www.idownloadblog.com/

    I want to only allow comments on the blog posts and not the standard web pages.

    How would I go about this? I'm completely lost!

    Ok, so you would sign up for Wordpress, make your blog, and have the button that says "blog" link to the blog. There are many templates that look like the one you've posted.

    This post hasn't really helped me at all, you've just said what I asked in my question :confused:

    I'm asking how to do it.

    You may have to toggle the admin panel page(top right) in order to see discussion or comments so you can disable them on pages only.

    hope that helps,

    Ok, that's for the pages/posts disabling, but what about the 'latest posts' page? with the summaries/images for each article in list format?

    Site looks nice, well done.... Can you drop a link to the problem? You should be able to turn off comments granularly on whatever you want.

    Additionally, if you have skype I can flesh this out for you in real time real fast if you want.

    Sorry, without being able to see your blog I can't really see what you're talking about.

    All they have to do is make a page called blog and set it the page template to blog. The link to his site is in the OP.
