 * Hello tibby812,
    Add the following code to custom css-
 *     ```
       .blog #page {
       display: none;
       }
       ```

 * Divjot,
 * Thank you for the reply. While your suggested fix works great for the Home page,
   my Blog page doesn’t display the Blogs now.
 * My config is as follows:
 * Static Front Page:
    Front Page = -Select_ Posts Page = Blog
 * If i specify a Home page, then the Home page uses a different page template (
   assuming here). If i leave it at -Select-, it displays properly but contains 
   the blog posts.
 * What am i doing wrong in terms of config? I also noticed there are 3 page templates.
   
   1. home.php 2. page.php 3. index.php
 * Which template is used for which type of page? Also, if home.php is a template,
   it does not show up in the drop down on the page properties.
 * Thanks again for your help.

 * Hello tibby812,
 * The current homepage of your site is the blog page. It is the default page.
    
   If nothing is selected in the “Front Page” dropdown, blog page will be used as
   the homepage. If you publish any post, it would show up on the blog page in the
   recent posts section ( which we have hidden ). The page titled blog is actually
   a static page which will show content that is setup in the “Edit Page” section.

 * Thanks Divjot. I figured out how the other guy did his site with Blogs being 
   on a seperate page. Great theme btw and thank you very much for all your work.
 * A couple of feature requests (if possible)
    – being able to center the Main-Navigation–
   Reducing the size of Main-Navigation when the resolution is lower without bringing
   the menu down to a second and even a third line. (this applies to me because 
   i have many items and some of them are long menu items)

 * Thanks for the suggestions tibby812.
    These will surely be considered for the
   future updates.
