  My full Gravatar “about” bio is inserting at the end if each of my posts and I’m not sure why, and I want to remove it. Does anyone know what setting I could have turned on by mistake? It’s quite frustrating as one must scroll alllllll the way past this to make comments. Thanks for any help.

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

  Normally we place a very brief bio here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile and a expanded bio on an About page.

  You have two options:
  1. Do not use a theme that automatically provides and author profile below each post.
  2. Remove the About me information you placed here Dashboard > Users > My Profile > About You (section) so it will not be displayed.

  In some themes there is an author profile automatically displayed at the end of each post. In most themes there is no such feature and the data derived from here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile > About You (section) does not appear on the blog, it appears appears on your Gravatar profile page only.

  You can copy and paste that text that you have now and display it on an About page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ in your blog.

  Added info:
  If you click the Find a theme link on this page http://theme.wordpress.com you will discover there are feature filters you can use to narrow your theme search down but this feature has no filter there.

  There is no up to date listing but you can see an older partial list re: themes with author bylines and author profile automatically displayed or not here http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/ to find a theme that does not display an author profile.

  Thank you very much! I fixed it, but am really wanting a theme that will let me put up more menus along the top,, are there any free themes that might fit my food blog? Or is there a way with my theme to have more than home, about, and recipes as the only headings??

  Yes.

  Hi there,

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them, and dynamic category pages automatically created by the software when we publish posts are not the same as static Pages that we bloggers create.

  Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  (1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
  (2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.

  Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.

  Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We assign categories to posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  Until we publish a post with a category assigned to it the relevant dynamic categories page will not have any data that it can display.

  This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Create a custom menu
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages to it
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages
  Create order and sub-menus (dropdowns)
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well. Here is more information:
