PLEASE help me delete an image off my page ASAP

  • I need some help, quickly, and it seems none of my webmaster friends can help me.
    I am using a theme that is fairly new, but the developer has closed shop, so I can’t ask her what code to delete, sadly.

    Take a look at my site, it’s the “About the author” with the avatar that I want gone, I need gone. I managed to delete the background image, but can’t delete the words “
    “about the author” or the avatar below it, no matter what I try. What section would I find this in? I edited stlesheet etc, but cannot find any code related to this to make it go away.

    Also, how do I make sure the margins on the right are all the way To the right so 2/3 of my blog space is usable, and the rest is the left sidebar? What margin? Where do I edit it?

    I am desperate, I even tried paying a friend to fix it, he couldn’t manage it either.

    HELP! I am PAST my due date by two weeks of having this site up and finished! This is a big hurdle in the way because I need the usable space, not margins or an avatar crowding my images ( see the gallery page for what I mean by crowded images)

    THANK YOU for even reading this! ANY help is wonderful!
    Oh, and speak in small terms, I am new to all this css, I’m used to HTML, so I’m learning a whole new language slowly. If you could give instructions a 3rd grader would understand, I’d be grateful!

    Do I edit the PHP folder? If so, where? Do I edit the CSS stylesheet? It worked partially, but otherwise no luck. Sorry this is so long.

    Developers theme:( they are closing up shop and no longer allow registrations on their support page sadly, thus why I am here)

    to hide quickly you could add:
    #bio{display:none;} to your style sheet.

    then you can look at removing it. Firstly check your widgets, was it added that way?

    If not you are probably going to have to edit the themes files, possibly sidebar, or footer. If you look for <div id="bio"> you’ll hopefully find the section where it was inserted.

    I’d suggest doing that before you try and extend the width of the content.

    However another possibility is to edit a page and see if there is a template that removes the column entirely (Page Attributes – Template)

    Thank you for your ideas! I’ll try those, but yes I already found <div id=”bio”> ,edited it, to no effect. There was a red box behind the text and avatar, that deleted, but no matter what I try the image is stuck there like a stubborn mule.
    I’ll try your first suggestion!

    I am so grateful to have an online resource to ask questions through, thanks

    WOW…it WORKED. I may just faint…the rest of my site will take me a day tops to finish, but that one silly line of code was DRIVING ME NUTS

    THANK YOU! I’d buy you a drink and reach through the screen to hug you if I could!

    I asked my hubby for help since he’s incredibly talented with HTML, but alas, he has no knowledge of PHP or CSS so I had to go it alone.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now all I have to do is make the far right 3rd of my page blank usable space…next comes learning how to edit margins, it cuts off the right 3rd of my page. Fun times!

    At least this is more fun then fighting with FTP

    wait, another question: It came with a “No sidebar page template” shown on the right hand side. This sounds like what I want, I think, unless it wipes out my left hand menu, plus I have no clue how to make that the rule for my site anyway.
    Yes, I am up at 3am all week trying to fix this since I’m WAY past my deadline and trying my best as a novice

    For the width have a look at the style associated with #container, and play with the width.

    Rich, that solved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All my wishes came true ( well, except I wished that I was a genius at css and php so I could build a site in an hour).

    THANK YOU!
