  My site is http://stanthonyscotlandroad.org/
  It is a Church website. On the bottom of every page is an area called “recent posts”.
  This is not a widget or footer and I cannot remove it.
  I am told I can do this in the CSS but I am a novice
  Can anyone advise please

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

  You’ve set all your pages to the “showcase” template, which is a specialized template for posts, not for standard static pages. Open each post in the editor and change the page template to “default” in the attribute module and the update the page.

  Thanks for this…
  I have chosen the showcase because it gives more space for text.
  Do you think it is possible to change the CSS set up to remove the “recent posts” without me changing all pages to default?
  Thanks

  Yes, if you have the Custom Design upgrade, the following would get rid of the recent posts section on showcase template pages.

  .page-template-showcase-php section.recent-posts {
  display: none;
  }

  The following will get rid of the little bit of white between the content area and top border line on the footer area.

  .page-template-showcase-php article.intro {
  margin-bottom: 0;
  }

  I have the CSS stylesheet editor open. Do I just paste in your code and that will be implemented on top of the twenty eleven stylesheet and hence remove recents posts without causing any “damage” to the rest of the layout?
  Thanks

  Yes, delete the informational text in the CSS edit window and paste in what I gave above. It will not mess up anything else, and even if it did, it would be just a matter of deleting the code and saving again to get back to the original. You can’t break it – at least not permanently.

  If you’re only using the showcase template because you wanted “more space for text”, it would have been simpler to use the default template and just change the content width to 100%.
