   Hi,
   I'm really new to Word Press and am just in the process of setting up my site and would like to know a few things.
   By Default the front page is called Blog and in my current them there is a Tab at the top that says Blog to go to it, is there a way to change this so it says 'News' and also by default there were some menus along the side I dont want such as Blogroll, how do I get rid of these? and is there a way to make a page without creating a Tab at the top and just a link on the sidebar instead?
   Im pretty sure all these things can be done because I've seen wordpress sites where it has been done.
   Thanks in advance.
   PS: Can i also get rid of the XFN and WP links?

   Everything can be changed with some basic html knowledge.
   I am not familiar with the theme you are using, but here is the general guide for newcomers (btw, welcome):
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
   and see also:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout
   about the structure of themes see Section 3: Themes and Templates.

   (another option: choose a theme that's like you want)

   It would be good if you spend some time inside your admin panel (if necessary there is also a lot of info about the feature on the Codex). In admin panel you could find your Links management section - for Blogroll and other links.
   For New you should look into the header.php.
