 * I have just started developing a small site using Retina 0.1 and find that the
   live pages have an Edit button which I assume is avalable to anyone accessing
   the page, but I can’t seem to get rid off except by switching to a different 
   theme.
 * I must be missing something obvious but I just can’t see what!

 * most themes have this edit button as a convenience;
 * have a look into the templates and search for `edit_post_link()`
