I have a static front page that has the "Meta" links on the right side of the page with:
Meta: Log in, Entries RSS, Comments RSS etc.
Some visitors think they need to log in when they see the "log in" link and this is causing trouble!
Is it possible to remove these links?
Yes - it's possible but the easiest method of doing this depends upon your current theme. Does it support widgets?

Esmi, I am not sure! I am using the Twenty Ten theme.
In that case, your theme does support widgets. Go to Appearance/Widgets and add the Search form and Archive widgets to your Primary Widget Area. These will replace the default content in the upper part of your sidebar - including the Meta block.

OK, I see esmi. What I did was I dragged meta out of the PW area and I dragged search into the PW area. That removed meta and replaced it with a search box. Just curious to know why you suggested to also drag archives into the PW area. Is there a reason for that? Thanks.
I simply assumed that you hadn't added any widgets to the sidebar. An archive listing is part of the sidebar default content in the 2010 theme.

How do I log into my blog in order to edit once I have removed the Meta block? I realized than as soon as my browser stops remembering my login details, I no longer have a way to login!!

yoursite.com/wp-admin will take you to the admin if signed in, the login page if not

any way to totally remove all, search, meta and archive? I could only find 2-3 year old topics about this. I have removed the widges from the sidebar. I also have tested moving the mentioned widgets into disabled, still no luck.
Update: So all solutions I have found say I need to be able to code, depending on my theme. Is this really accurate?
