You have to follow the procedure here, http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ , create a blank custom menu and save it, then select the blank custom menu you created in the primary menu pulldown and then click save in that module.

The CSS I gave you does not get rid of the menu. Do that through the custom menu feature in case you want to add a menu back in later. It prevents you having to edit the CSS.

On the sidebar, do you have two archives widget in it?

To get rid of the big dash where the site title was originally, add the following to your CSS.
```
#header h1 {
display: none;
}
```
Then go back to settings > general and put your site title back in and save. What I’ve given above will hide it from visitors, but having it set at settings > general will keep the search engines happy. They will be able to see the title. They cannot see the title in the header image.

What they’ve done on the theme you reference cannot be done here. The closest you could get would be to put each image into a separate post right at the top, center aligned at full-size and then you could put a “read more” tag right after the image if you were also going to include text with the image. People could then click on the read more tag and see the single-post page which would have the image and then the text below it.

The thing is, CSS is a styling document that the browser uses to style and position the elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add or change functionality.

and can i get rid of the line underneath the title?

You have to delete the gallery you are currently using from each post and the put the images into separate post as single images instead of galleries. If you put full-sized images in as a gallery, you will again be back to having an extremely slow loading site. You really don’t want to have 20 or 30 full-sized images in a single post.

To get rid of the lines.
```
.post-meta, .post-content, .widget {
border-top: none;
}
```

thanks!

is there a way of doing that without having to repost all the images? can i change them into individual posts?

also, sorry, do you know a way to get the title of the post and archive both on the same side??
thesacredpath · Member · Nov 2, 2011 at 8:59 am

You would not want the archive widget on the same side as the post titles since the archive widget is going to grow in length each month and would interfere with post titles and possibly (probably) run right over the titles.

The only way to get the images into individual posts is to create the posts and insert them from the media library tab in the insert image window. You may find that there are places where you can, or may want to, group several images together, but I would resist going over about 3 or 4 per post as a general rule.

I’m having a little bit of a problem making suggestions because I’m not completely clear on where you are wanting to go. Are you just going to be putting up images with no written content to go with the images?

In which case what you want is Tumblr or Flickr.
