			<description><![CDATA[Hey guys. Like I said before I am interested in starting a website, but I am not sure if I can code a site on my own, so that's where wordpress comes in. I just have a few questions about it. <br />
<br />
1. How much would it cost me to use wordpress?<br />
2. How much space does it give me?<br />
3. How user friendly is it?<br />
<br />
And I may have more later. <br />
<br />
I know that may sound noobish, but I've never used wordpress before.]]></description>

Go to Settings and select Discussion (still from the Admin page) and check if you want comments or not and select the criterias fr posting.<br />
