 * Care to provide a link etc? 🙂
 * Would be most helpful..
 * You could try adding this to the bottom of your style sheet if you want to hide
   the whole div with id of colophon:
 * #colophon {
    display:none; }

 * Did you download WordPress from wordpress.org or somewhere else? It looks like
   your 2010 theme has been diddled with as the ads shouldn’t be there.

 * Like I said if it is the content of the <div id=”site-generator”> div then add
   the CSS code as above, this will hide it.
 * To delete it once and for all just edit your themes footer.php file and delete
   the whole div (or the contents) manually. That will do it.

 * dgwyer.. nice serve! it was an ace! I did the delete thing… thank you… Ed….. 
   Maybe you could help me with another small matter.. I posted it before and didn’t
   get results with the other suggestions… what I would like to do is get rid of
   the “Posted on September 1, 2010 by admin” and the “Posted in unCategorized ”
   thing on the first page.. serve me another ace? I am finally having fun doing
   this.. Peace

 * (Remember, backup any files you edit code to!)
 * That’s also quite easy. To get rid of the date (and the author) in your loop.
   php theme file delete this code:
 *     ```
       <div class="entry-meta">
         <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
       </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
       ```
   
 * If you want to keep the author bit ‘by Chip Bennett’ etc. then you need to edit
   the function itself in the themes functions.php file and take out the date bit
   but leave the author.
 * As for the ‘Posted in’ bits edit the loop.php and delete the following code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
        <span class="cat-links">
         <?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
        </span>
        <span class="meta-sep">|</span>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
