    Ok, so removing the text from the search widget is proving tricky, but I think you can change the text on the subscribe widget by going back to Appearance>Widgets, opening the widget in question and changing the test there. Everything is a little harder to test in a language you don’t speak, so if that doesn’t work, or if I’ve misunderstood the question, could you try to explain it to me again? Tell me exactly what the widget says now, which part you want to change, and what it should say when it’s right. Thanks!!

    So this is a total cheat but you can hide the text in the box by making the text the background the same color. . .

    #s{
    border: 1px solid black;
    background: #aaa; 

}

    probably not the answer you were looking for but it might be better than nothing.

    Hello lizthefair
    Thanks again for your response :-)

    * For the WIDGET SEARCH:
    Inside the text box were you have to type the search words, it has a text by default that saids: “Buscar …”.
    I would like to eliminate the message “Buscar …” and leave the text box in blank.
    But this is not posible to chance on the Appearance>Widgets.

    * For the WIDGET SUBSCRIBE:
    The text box were you have to type the email, it has a text by default that saids: “Introduce tu dirección de correo”.
    I would like to change the message to “Introduce tu email”.
    But this is not posible to chance on the Appearance>Widgets.

    Ok, this is better–let’s hear it for the internet!
    http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/style-placeholder-text/

    ::-webkit-input-placeholder {
   color: white;
}

:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
   color: white;
}

::-moz-placeholder {  /* Firefox 19+ */
   color: white;
}

:-ms-input-placeholder {
   color: white;
}

    Ok, I was logged into WordPress.com so I didn’t see the text box to which you referred under subscribe. I’m all caught up now.

    Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s possible to change what the placeholder text says in the Subscribe box with CSS–we can hide it or change what it looks like, but as far as I know that’s it.

    Sorry!
