  I would like to delete the “meta” box at the bottom right corner of my blog page. I have looked through all of the dashboard options but cannot figure out how to do it. Can you please advise me? Thanks!

  The meta box is a default widget on your theme, since you haven’t set up your own widgets.
  Just go to Appearance->Widgets in your dashboard and add any widget you want to the sidebar and the Meta widget will go away.
  You’ll probably want to add the Search, Recent Posts, Archives, and Categories widgets if you want to keep those.
