I am brand new to all of this word press/blog stuff so please bear with me.
I can’t seem to get the home page to come up with a box ready for someone to start a comment. I would like to have a log-in/register link in the header bar. that once done would open a page for a comment.
Any suggestions?

@Al – Thanks for choosing the Ground Floor theme. As to your ideas of commenting, the general method with WordPress is to associate specific comments with specific posts or pages. If you want to have commenters register before posting a comment, then you will need to turn on the option in the administration panel under Settings | Discussion: “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”
What you appear to be seeking beyond this could be possibly be done by editing the theme’s core files, please review our WordPress Services page and contact us if you wish us to consider the project.
Is it possible for this theme to display timestamps next to the posted date? Even if it were in military time (15:00 as opposed to 3:00pm) that would be great!
Thanks in advance.
@Jason – yes this is possible to do but it will require some minor edits to several(?) theme template files. The theme uses
the_time()function to present the date, you can extend its parameters to show the time.See these pages in the WordPress codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_time
http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time
There are other methods but this will be minimal edits to the theme.
NB: These will be required after every update as well.
