# Disabling Comments on Specific Blog Entries in Drupal 7

At this point you’ve [enabled the blog module](/support/edu/drupal/enabling-the-blog-module-in-drupal-7/) and [created your first blog entry](/support/edu/drupal/creating-a-blog-entry-in-drupal-7/). By default, commenting (allowing others to post comments on your blog post) is set to **Open**. Open commenting means anyone with an account that has the permissions set to **Post comments** will be able to comment.

At times, you may want to turn commenting off. You can either [turn commenting off for all blog posts](/support/edu/drupal/disabling-comments-on-a-specific-content-type-in-drupal-7/), or you can disable commenting on individual blog entries. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps for turning commenting off for specific blog posts.
