 * I’d like to remove the search area from my Fudo-themed page; I’ve looked at the
   previous blogs on this topic; there are some edit-code suggestions; I’m an advanced
   beginner at code editing so I can do that but I couldn’t find the right page 
   or right code to edit. It looks like search is one of the available widgets in
   this theme but I couldn’t find that it had been activated.

 * There are literally thousands of WordPress themes – which means that many people
   won’t be familiar with your particular theme. So a link to your site where people
   can see the theme might result in more responses.

 * I visited the Dalton hideout a couple of summers ago. Pretty cool.
 * What you call theme dependent is WordPress’s strength. In fact theme and plugin
   development are closely related so learning to build themes is like learning 
   how to use the plugin API to boot. So I hope you don’t think of that as a bad
   thing.
 * If you haven’t already done so I would check out the “stepping into templates”
   page in the codex:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates)
 * That will help you find your way around any WordPress theme. Once you understand
   the structure of a theme they are all the same. In many cases you can make hundreds
   of site designs while barely changing the markup of a given theme at all and 
   just editing the css (style.css which IS your theme really) and maybe a few functions(
   functions.php which is the DOer of your theme) assuming you started with a robust
   theme template markup base.
 * I hope that helps. I would be more specific but when I looked at your site it
   looked like you were in the middle of breaking everything to learn how it worked.
   I’ll look again if you post again after you’ve gotten a little further along.
 * Find your day well.

 * VERY cool that you’ve seen the hide- out; my family left KS years ago altho I
   was back at the museum maybe 15 yrs ago;
    the web site is a final project for
   my first XHTML class which I’m taking online at a local comm college; altho I’m
   retirement age it looks like I’ll be taking more classes and doing some work 
   in this field; my son owns his own web design biz; I do like this stuff; I’ve
   put a screen shot of my XHTML site so-far on my WP site in case you wanted to
   take a look; thanks for taking the time to respond; I’ll dig into that templates
   site you sent;

 * Yeah anybody who digs a tunnel has a “real” hideout. I’m gonna start digging 
   one today 😉
 * Best of luck with your class and future endeavors. I think that is really cool
   you working with your son like that. If you ever need help with WordPress, html/
   css, or PHP just look me up.

 * It looks like you successfully removed the search bar. Is this correct? If so
   please mark resolved, if not, could you link to an instance of where this is 
   occuring.
 * Thanks!
