Hello
I want to get started changing the set up of my blog. Where do I find the style sheet of the theme I currently have? Can I delete stuff like ‘categories, comment, home and search’ from the homepage? Can anyone give me advice about how to get started changing these things?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

kookmalle.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this blog.
First we need the URL or link to the blog you are asking about to give you accurate help.

First off, even though you are using thumbnails, you are using huge amounts of images in each post and it is choking my wireless internet connection.
Go to settings > reading and set your site to show at most 2 or 3 posts per page. For now I would appreciate you setting it to 2. Then we can get going on customizing your site.

Go to settings > reading in your dashboard. In the second group you will see
“Blog pages show at most” _____ posts.” Change the number in the field there and then click save changes down at the bottom of that page.

“Home” at the top is part of the site navigation system. If you plan on having more pages, such as an about page or whatever, the about page would show up there next to “home”. If you do not want to have any, or are not going to need any site navigation then go to appearance > custom menu, create and save a blank custom menu with no items in it, and then in the “theme locations” module at upper left, select your blank menu from the primary navigation pulldown and then click “save.”

I would also like to have one image at a time in a single column and have the image larger. if it’s possible to send an image i can show you what i want.

For the right side, go to appearance > widgets and add the “archives” widget to the sidebar. What you are seeing right now is the sample display of widget that the theme itself will put up if you have not actually added any widgets. Once you add the “archives” widget to the sidebar, they other two will go away.
The following code will get rid the search box at the top and the categories and comment link on the left side under the post title and date. Add the following to the CSS edit window and then you can preview (you might have to refresh the preview page if the change does not show up). If you are satisfied, then click “save stylesheet.”
.search-form-holder, .post-categories, .comments-link { display: none; }To see the entire stylesheet, you can click on the “view original stylesheet” link under the CSS edit window, but do not paste it into the CSS edit window. Paste it instead into a plain text file for reference and save it on your computer.
Then when adding things to the CSS edit window, you want to add only the specific selectors and the specific declarations that you are adding or changing. Anything that is not being changed should not be put into the CSS edit window as it can cause problems if you have duplicates. What you put into the CSS edit window will override the like selectors and declarations in the original stylesheet.

I’m sorry, I forgot to include a link to the custom menu support page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ . That will explain how to create a menu.

i copied this into the style sheet CSS edit window and refreshed by browser and all the menu’s are still there
