I use the MistyLook theme on my site http://shimworld.wordpress.com/ and I had thought the theme would automatically accommodate new pages but as it turned out, additional pages would get pushed behind the SEARCH box. Any chance the search box can be removed with CSS?

I can’t pull up page source from here but just add into your css editor if you have the upgrade the name of the div the search box is within and comment it out with a display:none;

Should work.

I do have CSS Upgrade and it’s configured with

.entry .snap-preview,.entry .snap_preview span,.entry .snap_preview p {
font-size:10pt !important;
font-family:Georgia !important;
}

and I did a search of the Theme’s CSS and found the following lines. I’m not good with codes at all.

}
#navigation ul li.search {
font-size: 0.9em;
right: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
#navigation ul li.search input#searchsubmit {
border: #999 1px solid;
font-size: 0.9em;
background: #ddd;
margin: 0 0 0 2px;
color: #265e15;
padding: 2px;

You’ll need to edit your header.php under your MistyLook theme files.

Search for <li class="search"><form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>"><input type="text" class="textbox" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" /><input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" /></form> and delete the whole chunk or comment it and it’ll be gone.

Not here. We don’t have access to .php files.
