 * Is there any way to do this.. If you click the post title it will open just the
   one post you clicked and the footer. Is there a way to open just the post without
   the footer and still remain the footer in the index.php?

 * Just remove the footer call from the single.php file. It looks like this:
 * `<?php get_footer(); ?>`

 * comments.php doesn’t have it. And I can’t remove footer from the index. Do I 
   have to move all the content from the footer to the index.. that means a lot 
   to do with css, but if that’s the only way..?

 * Make one. Save your index.php as `single.php` into the theme folder. (Note, the
   term is _theme_ and all the files in it are templates 🙂
    After that edit it 
   as you like.

 * Ah, remember, that if you remove your theme’s `footer.php`, many tags that open
   in the header and elsewhere CLOSE in the footer. Those will have to be added 
   and/or closed in the last thing you use, like the single.php or you will get 
   lots of validation errors.
 * You can also use a `footer1.php` with a PHP include to that second footer in 
   the single.php if you want to keep your footer for the rest of the pages. See
