  I’ve just adopted the Duster theme. How do I remove the right sidebar? On the Duster example no right sidebar is shown. Thanks.

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

  The Duster theme does not provide a sidebar when either single posts or pages are viewed on their own pages. If you do not wish to use the sidebar simply go here > Appearnce > Widgets and drag and drop a text widget into the sidebar. Do not give it a title and put nothing in it. Click “save” and “close”.

  To mimic what is shown on the theme.wordpress.com demo, create a page to be used as the “showcase” page. In the attributes module for that page, select “showcase” under page template and publish it. Also create a “posts” page if you want a standard posts page as well and publish it.

  Go to settings > reading and set your showcase page as the “static front page” and set the page you created for your posts to the “posts” page and save the changes.

  You can see the results of the above here: http://medicinewheel.wordpress.com/ (my “showcase” page I named “home.”

  Is there any way to change the headline font in the sidebar on Duster? It is ridiculously small–not “header-like” at all.

  I amazed. I’m visually challenged and the size of the font on your header image is way too big for my eyes. I have to back way from it. Setting that aside, if you also want the blog title to appear above your header and you want to increase the size of the font used, then you require CSS editing experience and the purchase of the annually renewable CSS upgrade.

  If you have the CSS upgrade, you can change it by adding this to your CSS and then editing the size value.

  .widget-title {
  font-size: 10px;
  }
