I've set up a WP blog before ... but that was a bit of a while ago and now that I'm using it for another site, I've run into a couple of problems:
- How do I remove the authors name and the publishing date from the static pages that I publish?
- WP automatically has a 'Home' page when you install it. If I want that page to just be a static page (rather than a list of the latest blog posts), how can I write content for it? Or alternatively, how can I remove that original 'Home Page' link altogether so that I can create a new page and make that my landing page.
- How do I remove the authors name and the publishing date from the static pages that I publish?
In page.php, find <?php the_author();?> and remove the paragraph or parts of the paragraph that it sits in.

I simply write over the index.php in wp-content/themes/yourtheme/ but I think there's also an option in the admin panel (depending on the version you're using) where you can choose a static page to replace your home page.

Yup, I've found that option, and chosen a static page which seems to work fine. The problem is that the original 'HOME' link is still visible on my menu, and I'd like to get rid of it.
