    Trying to get rid of all the things on the side of my page that I dont need or even use. Such as Pages, Meta, Archives, etc.

    An empty Text Widget in the sidebar widget area(s) may help with what you are trying to do. A link to your blog would be helpful, too.

    cais has the right answer. As soon as you add 1 widget to your sidebar via Admin/Appearance/Widgets, all of the default sidebar content should disappear. So then it's just a case of adding only the widgets you want in your sidebar.

    Try http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout

    Ignore the title. It does go beyond blogs and into web sites/design in general.

    When making changes to theme template files or stylesheets, I prefer to download a copy of the theme to my own machine, make the changes locally and then upload the amended files to the server. That way I can keep a backup copy of the theme locally in case anything goes pear-shaped.
