  1. Hi,
    I already have a glow blog that I made in my first year of school – I wish to change the design of it to make it more presentable for school. What I mean by this is I wish to change the blue and bubbled background and dark style of my blog to something neater. I was just wondering if it was possible to change the style of my blog and how I could do this. I am sorry if what I am trying to say is not very well explained anyway if you can help that’s great.
    Thank you.

  2. We have used the Oxygen theme for our Blog site – we do not want the Leave a Reply on the home page – I have switched everything off in regards this that I can, but it displays these fields on the home page. Can this be remove completely as we would prefer it if no-one can use this, especially as it seems that posts can be put up with no control/authorisation for everyone to see. Thanks

    1. Hi Christina,
      If you have turned off discussions in Setting-> Discussions it does not change the status of existing posts or pages.
      To do that you need to edit the post or page concerned. You may have to Open Screen Options at the top of the dashboard and check the box for Discussion to show the correct control.

      1. Hi John

        Thanks! Put the checkmark back on Discussions and found the option to remove comments – worked a treat!

        Thanks again!
