   I've just started testing WordPress and I like it very much!

   My site is: http://geovino.net/observe

   How do I remove the "Howdy. Welcome to Observations!" in the upper right hand area of the page? What do they call that section?

   That are is part of your sidebar and is probably 'hard-coded' in your theme's sidebar.php Template file, so you will want to edit/delete the code that is causing that to be displayed.

   I found the sidebar.php but it doesn't have any of the text I'm looking for. What would the text be?

   Just to make sure you didn't skip past without seeing, open your sidebar.php again and then control + F (to find) "Howdy. Welcome to".

   If you still can't find it it might actually be a text widget. Under the appearance navigation bar, you'll see 'Widgets'. Check that page to see if it's outputting the offending text. :)

   I've looked eveerywhere. sidebar.php has no text in it. I haven't seen any of the posted text anywhere. Where would it be?

   How do you delete a section of the page?

   I found it! It was the welcome.php file in the Theme Files area.
   Now I know that you have to go to Appearance > Editor and find the files there.

   Problem Solved :)
