I want to change/get rid of some of the elements contained in the twentyeleven theme including the search form and the wordpress link at the bottom. If I go into editor and delete the code it makes them disappear, but will this cause any problems with the site? Is there a better way to do it?
Thanks
please create a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes of Twenty Eleven to work with.
it is not advised to edit the default theme Twenty Eleven directly as an unedited theme is needed in case of problems.
a child theme also helps to keep customisations during an upgrade.
removing the search code and footer link in the corresponding files in a child theme should not cause any later problems.

Thanks - This page tells me to create a directory and add a new css sheet. How do I create a directory?
