 * Greetings WPer’s
 * Sure could use your opinion and pick your brain if I may. I would like to format
   my site similar to the way [http://www.physioworksnantucket.com](http://www.physioworksnantucket.com)
   has theirs set up.(Removing everything and having the categories at the top, 
   spreading the page out etc.) Would you mind looking at the site and letting me
   know how difficult this may be? Unfortunately my coding skills are weak at best.
   What level of skill does one need to make this happen?

 * On a side note,I was trying to figure out how to remove the comment-edit tag 
   in the post area. I went into the index and single php files from cpanel, removed
   the comment info and when I went to save the changes the window said…you cannot
   create the index.php file. Make sure path and file name are correct. They lost
   me there, any advice would be most appreciated.
 * Thanks a bunch,
 * Tom B.

 * Have a look at the Cutline theme. It has the same kind of minimalistic design
   that you’re looking for.

 * The comment-edit tag? why? Only logged-in users with the appropriate privileges
   ever get to see that link.

 * esmi,
 * Thanks so much for responding. Is it possible to get the URL for the cutline 
   theme, I couldn’t find it, not in wordpress themes anyway.
 * As far as the comment thing goes, I must have been logged in when I put it in
   the address bar, seems no matter how I went there that phrase is always in the
   post. Makes total sense what you are saying, why would the public see a edit 
   tag, (help me my brain.) Gonna log out of everything, enter it like anyone else
   would and see what happens.
 * Appreciate your help,
 * T.B.

 * I’m sorry, this is what I’m trying to remove “Posted at June 12, 2009 @ 6:13 
   pm by 4hisway in Why We Exist”…at the top of the post.
 * I got confused looking at things when logged in. I tell ya, I don’t know how 
   I made it this far in wordpress. I’m much better at taping drywall.

 * You should be able to download the index.php file using FTP (I think you can 
   do this from within Cpanel, though it’s been a while since I’ve used Cpanel).
   Once you have it on your computer, you can make the necessary changes and upload
   it overwriting the old file.
 * If you can’t figure that out, you could always hide the “Posted at June 12, 2009
   @ 6:13 pm…” part by using the stylesheet with this piece of code style.css file:
 * `.post-top h3{display:none;}`
 * Please note: the first way I explained is the better option, the second one is
   a bit of a hack.

 * Thanks Alexmansfield,
 * I found it in the index file and removed it.
 * T.B.
