 * hi guys!
    I’m new to coding like this and I’ve been baffled about how to make
   this possible. I’d like to make the side gone whenever one read a post so that
   the entire body bloc can be saved for the post’ contents. is it possible?

 * any insight will be so great!!
    thanks!!!

 * In single.php simply get rid of the call to the sidebar >>> `<?php get_sidebar();?
   >`
 * On individual post pages the sidebar will not appear. Of course it may look a
   little strange now so you might want to take it a few steps further. For instance,
   creating 2 new classes: 1 for the index page and 1 for the post pages. Example,
   index.php you could have something like,
 * `<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">`
 * which is defined in the style sheet as being 400px wide while in single.php you
   could have,
 * `<div id="content" class="widecolumn">`
 * which is defined in the style sheet as being 500px wide. Study the default Kubrick
   theme to see how this works.
