Hi there

I copied index.php and created a templete called Europe_2013.php. Then I created a page which I plan on using as my blog while overseas but I'm having problems tweeking the layout.

I'd like to delete the following from this page ONLY

Blog Title (Untie the Knots......)
RSS Feed
Search box

Move the header image up as far as possible, which will hopefully move the map up the page too.

Any suggestions as to what changes I need to make to Europe_2013.php at achieve this?

I've also tried to use the List category posts plugin to insert a shortcode on the europe-2013 page, so that all posts in the Travel category (ID 187) appear on this page, with the most recent on top, but I'm just not getting the code right. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong - or can I add code to Europe_2013.php template to achieve this without a plugin?

Thanks in advance
Cathy

I would use CSS and "List Category Posts" to style my blog page as opposed to creating a page template which would get overwritten in a theme update.

Thanks Larry. Can you suggest websites or (old fashioned) books where I can lean about this. Everything I done so far has been thru Google search chest and this forum.

This stuff changes too fast for most books to be of any value and when you start mixing different CSS and plugins there is only experience with CSS and being able to wrap your head around what the plugin can do. I have bought books on CSS and never used them.

My advice is to get real familiar with Firebug. I "play" with a lot of CSS virtually with that tool and then just copy the code that works and paste it in the appropriate spot. w3schools.com is a great place to learn CSS by playing with it.

Another thing I highly recommend is having a sandbox site that you can experiment on with various plugins, CSS, and such without worrying about breaking something.

Thanks for your suggestions lmilesw - I'll check them out. In the mean time if anyone (Juggledad?) would like to give a specific reply, I'd be grateful!

Thanks heaps
Cathy
