    Hello I have a website here that I am using twenty ten theme. I wanted to change a couple things & I was hoping someone can help. The truth I do not understand the answers in codex, so please don’t send me there.

    I want my home page to not have the “home” post name and blog attributes as well as the comments. But I want the comment ability in the blog portion of my site. I want to add images and content instead of blog posts. If you check out the page I am sure you will understand what I mean. I am good with html & css. I have no knowledge of php. FYI, I edit regular, non wordpress sites on dreamweaver.

    One more thing. I would like to add a contact form as well for my contact page. Is that possible?

    (NEW TO WORDPRESS-SO CONFUSED!)

    Untick “Allow comments” in the Discussion pane on the Edit Page screen. If you do not see this pane, click Screen Options and tick “Discussion”.

    Thanks it worked. 🙂 Now how do I remove the Home Name-Page name. Not the tab but just in the content part. Also above my header image, is a title I dont need. How do I remove that?

    P.s> you are heaven sent!

    This is where it gets a little more difficult. You need to start editing the theme’s stylesheet. But any changes that you make will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

    I understand now that I have to create a child theme. How would I go About doing that.

    I understand that I have to add:

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Ten Child
    Theme URI: http: //example.com/
    Description: Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme
    Author: Your name here
    Author URI: http: //example.com/about/
    Template: twentyten
    Version: 0.1.0
    */

    to the .css

    before any other markup.

    So My question is to create a child theme do I just need to create a additional css file? Im lost- I read thru the whole create a child theme you sent me. but I dont get it

    ok I figured it and created a child theme. Now how do I edit the style sheet to remove the Home Name-Page name. Not the tab but just in the content part. Also above my header image, is a title I dont need. How do I remove that?

    Thanks for all your help!!!

    You seem to have achieved both already! Well done. 🙂

    To get rid of that space at the top, try adding:

    #site-description {margin:0;}
#wrapper,#header {padding:0;}

    to your child’s stylesheet.

    do you have a website?

    Yes. http://quirm.net/
