Hi Cory,

I’m quite new to WordPress (just started using it this weekend), but, was able to come up with a work-around to get the “Hits from the Blog” and “Portfolio Snapshots” off of the Swatch theme. The only issue is that an inch of the white space where they were remains, but, it’s good enough for my needs without sitting down with someone that knows CSS better than I do to fully remedy the situation.

I suspect that there is some buggy CSS code in there somewhere, and, with the absence of another widget in the Middle and Right body areas, it’ll default to these two widgets. So, what I did, was drag and drop the Meta data widget into these two areas and leave the new widget completely blank. I bet that the CSS code for the blank Meta widget is overriding the defaults for the Hits from the Blog and Portfolio Snapshots pieces, and voila – no text, though, there is an inch of white space accounting for the “invisible widget”.

Not a perfect solution, but, good enough for my needs.

Hope this helps,
Alex
