Just installed Atahualpa, and liking it very much so far.

Damned if I can see where to turn off the "Read More + link" bit at the top of the page, though. I'd like to lose that entire element. Learning how to set or hack this would be great.

Thanks.

What version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the URL?

please point to a page and location on your page that you are talking about.

WP 2.9.2 and Ata 3.4.9

check your SEO options, it looks like it may be something in your meta description

Hmmm. Made various changes to the SEO config, but nothing changed.

What exactly am I looking for?

A stray bit of code. Try shutting off the seo - disable to plugin if using one

somewhere you have something messed up - it may be an option or it could be a currupt peice of code
