  A couple of VERY simple Wordpress Questions

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.

Does that make sense?

Thanks alot for your help

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.

Log into wordpress,

click presentation

click theme editor

find header.php or sidebar.php (where ever your home link it presented.)

find the home link in the header.php / sidebar.php and remove it.
