 * Hi.
 * Is there a simple way to make a Page not appear as a Post? Ie – just show the
   title of the page and the content, without all the details surrounding a typical
   post like time and date stamps, track backs, comments etc?? Or am i being stupid
   and have missed something… also, is there a default “calendar” anywhere in order
   to be able select posts by date??
 * I am a new user, so please bear with me…

 * You will need to edit page.php and remove/comment out the bits you don’t want.
   If you haven’t got page.php you can make it by copying index.php (from you theme
   folder) and renaming it page.php.
    The calendar can be called by `<?php get_calendar();?

 * You can insert the calendar anywhere using `<?php get_calendar(); ?>`.
 * To change the way a Page displays, you just need to make a new template and drop
   that into your theme folder. And then when you make a new page, select the new
   template from the dropdown box that appears. I thought that the default Page 
   template didn’t display timestamps and that stuff though?

 * Hello,
 * I must admit, I was under the impression that pages, were by default just pages
   without all the timestamp, posted by etc… any ideas what setting I may have forgotten
   that is making i behave in this way??
    Any help would be grately appreciated….

 * Paul, you’ve got 2 answers to your question…
    If you use a theme that doesn’t
   have a Page template (i.e. a file called page.php) then you have to create it
   in the manner you want it to appear, otherwise WP will use your main template(
   =index.php) for displaying the Pages.
