  I could almost swear that I could edit themes on wordpress.com a few months back but I can’t see anyway to do that now and I really need to remove the meta widget from my sidebar. Removing it from the widget section in appearance does not seem to work.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can’t edit themes, but it’s easy to remove widgets. If you can see it under Appearance->Widgets you can remove it. Remember it can take sidebars a half hour or so to refresh, though.

  We cannot edit templates or themes on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and have never been able to do so. As this is a multiuser blogging platform all blogs using the same theme are using the same template. Only Staff can access those files and edit as every edit they makes affects all blogs using the same theme.
