  Just tried out the Oxygen theme with my site (great theme) and I’m trying to determine how to eliminate a few of the items on the Showcase template. Specifically:

  -Recent Articles
  -More Articles
  -Blogroll header
  -Meta section

  I’ve scanned through the forum, haven’t seen anyone yet who has mentioned this. Help? Thanks!

  Here is the showcase page on the blog:

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

  If you want to keep the search box in the sidebar, then go to Appearance > widgets and add the search widget to the secondary sidebar. What you are seeing right now is a sample display of widgets that show when you have not yet added any widgets to the sidebar. If you add a search widget, the other two will disappear.

  If you want the entire sidebar (search, blogroll and meta gone, add the following to your custom CSS at Appearance > Custom Design > CSS:

  .home #tertiary {
  display: none;
  }

  To get rid of the recent and more articles sections, add the following CSS:

  .home .recent-articles, .home .more-articles {
  display: none;
  }
