  Please provide your blog url. Blog linked to your username is http://selenawolff.com/ and have not a problem like you mentioned.
  Please Note: Some themes like Twenty Ten, Mystique etc. show “About Author” in a box below each post. This is theme-dependent and Can be removed iff you have a Custom Design Upgrade. Changing the theme is another option.

  Hi. There’s no “About” box at the bottom of the posts in the blog linked to your username. Do you mean the “About” widget on your sidebar, or are you talking about a different blog?

  It is for the blog http://www.sigejeni.wordpress.com which belongs to a friend. I’m helping him learn how to use wordpress. The theme is Matala.

  As wpgaurav said, that’s a feature of certain themes, including Matala.

  However, if your friend does not have the Custom Design upgrade, or if he does not want to buy it, he can simply go to Users > My Profile and remove the contents of the “About you” box, then save the changes.
