    I actually heard the PHP code snarling at me, so I backed off a bit…

    These suggestions get me going in the right direction, I really appreciate them.

    I’d like to leave the sidebar info the same on the home page as it is in the rest of the site. So far I have just a home page and a blog set up (it’s just residing on my home computer right now, but I plan to go live by the end of the week). I plan on creating a few other static pages in the near future, but for now I’m eager to go live.

    Thanks again.

    I’m using a theme I customized. It’s basically based on two or three themes, but mostly one called “Modern Interiors.” I have a good working knowledge of CSS and Photoshop so while it’s structurally just about the same (3 columns), I’ve completely changed the images and color of the text, as well as some of the positioning. The footer in the template file had a sponsored link, but when you looked at the code it was all encoded strangely. I didn’t quite understand how that worked so I stripped that out and used a different footer. I’m too far down the road to change my theme with this project, although I do plan on doing at least two other WordPress projects and will keep that suggestion in mind for those.

    Anyways, I’d like to keep the post information I mentioned as is on the blog portion. I’d like to enhance that information as well, adding a picture of the author next to the author’s name (any suggestions on that?).

    After doing a bit of research, I think I know an approach I’ll take. I’ve been trying to find a plug-in that can customize the stylesheets on each individual page. First, not only do I need to get rid of the post info text, but also the image of the rounded box that is part of main content div has a little color box where the post date goes, so I’ll need change that on the stylesheet to one that just has the rounded edges.

    I’ve been trying to avoid digging around the PHP to do what I’d like to do but I’m beginning to think that might be unavoidable. I’ll take a look at the link you have above.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    How can I remove that information and just leave the bare post? I’d also like to remove the Comment // Add Comment link at the bottom of the post.

    I’ve tried hallsofmontezuma’s suggestion but I still get the div class=”post” information, so it still looks like a blog entry. I can format that text nicely, but I’d like to get rid of the “post” information (date, page title, author name).
    Any suggestions?
