Hi Melisa,
To hide the entire section author, date and comment go to Appearance -> Customize/Theme Options -> Design Options Tab -> Custom CSS paste the following CSS code and Click on save button:
.entry-header .entry-meta {
display: none;
}
And to have frontpage just the images that roll and the footer first create a page with any name and set that page to business template from the right side of the editor and choose this page as your front page for your site. You can set the business page as described in this instruction page.
Thank you!
