    Ok. So I’m completely new to blogging..I mean NEW…Other looking at other peoples that’s all I know.
    So I downloaded a theme for my blog.
    http://www.colebrookephotography.com/blog is the address if you want to look to see what I’m talking about.
    Anyways, One of the options listed on the side says META and it has stuff under it like log in html etc.
    Is there anyway to remove that so others don’t see it?
    I’m a photographer and just want a basic blog (but not boring) to give people sneak peaks. I had to download a theme because I know nothing about code etc so I wouldn’t know where to start. I hope I’m asking the question right. I can’t find anywhere that takes you through the babysteps of having a blog
    Excuse my ignorance but I would appreciate any help!
    Thanks
    julee

    That’s all probably default sidebar stuff. So if you go to appearance->widgets, and put widgets into your sidebar, it’ll most likely make the stuff (including meta) on your sidebar disappear.

    You can also directly edit your theme’s sidebar.php file to remove the meta stuff.

    it’ll be a block of code looking similar to:

    <h2>Meta</h2>
			<ul>
				<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('<abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a></li>
				<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('The latest comments to all posts in RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('Comments <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a></li>
				<?php wp_meta(); ?>
			</ul>
