  The theme for my website is “The Morning After”.
  I want a one column layout for my website without the sidebar. How can I remove the right-sidebar??

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

  Are you going to be using posts, or just pages on the site?

  Pages vs. Posts

  Ah, then it can be done quite easily.

  Create a page to be used as your main page. In the “attributes” module in the page editor, select “full-width” from the page template pulldown and publish the page.

  If you do not want comments enabled, on your pages, go to settings > discussion and turn off comments and trackbacks and save. On existing published pages, you will have to turn them off individually. You can do that by going to pages > all pages and use the quick edit feature and turn comments off quickly on the other pages.

  Now go to settings > reading and set that page you created as your static home page (no need to select a “posts” page) and save.

  Visit your site and you will see that your main page now has no sidebar. Do that with the rest of your pages as well (select full-width in the attributes module in the page editor).

  Thanks a lot! It worked!!

  I have another question please.
  I created an ‘About’ page as a parent page and 3 other pages as sub-categories. Is there a way to make the ‘About’ page just a title (because I don’t want to enter any info on this page) where you cannot click on it?

  The URL is http://6sigmafc.wordpress.com/

  First you need to create and load a custom menu in place of the default menu of the theme. Instructions here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  (By the way, if you used a custom menu from the start, you could have created the dropdowns without having to turn those pages into child pages.)

  For the non-linking tab, you’ll need to add a custom link to the menu instead of your About page. see here:

  You’re welcome!
  Note: You used the solution suggested in the support doc on custom menus, which gives you a # in the address bar of the browser. The alternative solution I linked to gives no such thing.
