The easiest way to remove things from the sidebar is to go to Design > Widgets. As soon as you add one widget, it'll replace everything in the default sidebar. Remove all the meta section, it's fine, to log into admin then just go to <code>yoursite.com/wp-admin</code>. 3. You can add an RSS button using a text widget at the top of the sidebar. Get a nice big icon from <a href="http://www.feedicons.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Icons</a> and upload it to <code>wp-content/themes/water/images/</code>. Then in the text widget do something like <code><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/feed" rel="nofollow"><img src="/wp-content/themes/water/images/rss.png" alt="Subscribe by RSS" width="28" height="28" /></a></code>. 4. The <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/formbuilder" rel="nofollow">FormBuilder plugin</a> is great for making forms. 5. Go to Comments > Akismet Spam. If there's nothing there saying Akismet is not working then I think it means it's working. 6. When you tried to change the font size in "Water's Settings" did you put a unit after the number, e.g. em or px? 7. To add something to the top of each post, put it in single.php under the <code>while (has_posts())</code> line (the start of The Loop). If you want it to only show on posts in one category you can use <code>if (in_category())</code> - see <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags" rel="nofollow">Conditional Tags on the Codex</a> for more information. Look in the documentation that came with the plugin for what you need to add. 8. The <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-widget" rel="nofollow">Video Widget plugin</a> looks good, but I haven't tried it myself. 9. I use <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-widget-pro" rel="nofollow">Twitter Widget Pro</a> on this site. I'm not sure about listing keywords with Twitter, I've not seen that done. 1 and 2. The easiest way to remove things from the sidebar is to go to Design > Widgets.

I've been going blind looking at different templates for the last few days. Now you SHOW me how completely custom this one can be. And even better - a NON-programmer like me can figure it out! It's almost midnight... and my eyes are crossed - but I'll be back tomorrow to download and copy all your notes and "how to's" - Thank you! Mahalo, Arleen Anderson Aloha!
