 * Hello there,
 * I’ve got several questions for the following site:
 * [http://torreviejatranslation.com/](http://torreviejatranslation.com/)
 * 1. I would like to get rid of all the widgets in the side bar. My Dashboard is
   empty, however, I still get those four. Any suggestions?
 * 2. Is there any way to force WordPress to open up on a certain page? The problem
   I see is that it always opens with a Welcome post I put, but I would like to 
   do it on a Home page I will create.
 * 3. Is there any standard way to make a site multi-language? I’d like to do exactly
   the same I have now but in another language, without going out of this site of
   course.
 * Thanks.

    1. Many themes have a default set of widgets that they show unless you insert your
       own. You can usually insert a blank Text widget to override them. However, this
       will not recover the space on the screen. If your theme does not offer a full-
       width page template, you will need to modify the code to regain the space.
    2. You do this in WP with a Static Front Page. Here is a [video tutorial](http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CDkQtwIwAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dzkz8bVNUgb0&ei=JzJrUM3uB5PC9QTPw4GgAg&usg=AFQjCNFaGbTx_zIdf8I1LuOJ8LiOvrmKFg&sig2=Vdy8xMN7KRxh5CPPd6OxsA)
       that may help.
    3. There are several plugins that will do this. I have used [WPML](http://wpml.org/).
       You can find others by searching the WP Plugin Directory for ‘multilingual’ 
       or ‘translate’.
