It is imperative that you active a plugin to protect your blog from comments. If you don’t do this, the costs of maintaining these blogs will go up exponentially.

Here is what you have to do:
1. Log in to your blog
2. Click on the Plugins tab
3. Click on Active (column on the right) for the “Auto-close Comments” plugin (probably listed first on the list of plugins)

You’re done. Seven days after you post a new entry the comments to it will be closed off automatically.
