Hi, Jim-- I'm Joe. I was using the "Nick" site as an example. The nofollow was an oversight. I didn't even know WordPress did that by default until you mentioned it and I did a little research. So thanks for pointing that out. I just installed the No Follow Free plugin to remove the nofollow attribute from the author links.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the “how to”. Why the no-follow? Is it to avoid the potential of the search engines thinking duplicate content?

Hi, Vito-- That's a tough one. I did some research, tried several solutions (and variations of those solutions), and haven't been able to figure it out. From what I found, the solution requires creating a sub loop... something along the lines of what Greg Rickaby discusses in his post "How To: Create a Sub-Loop in Thesis." This is one option I didn't try. I was hoping for a quick solution like adding a remove_action and an add_action hook. Sorry, man. If you try Rickaby's solution and it works, please come back and let everyone know. On a semi-related topic, I discovered a Thesis Sidebar Teaser plugin.

Thank you! I loved the graphics you used. It made it so much easier for me to figure out what I needed to do.

Thanks for your post. I’ve been trying to remove the page titles from static page without success.

I’ve applied your suggestion. It works on the home page of http://www.realworldstrategy.com but not on other static pages. I want to apply this to all of the static pages on my site. So far, I’ve put hiddentitle into the CSS class of the about and contact page of my site but the titles still appear.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Very good collection of info here! I realised most of this myself but now I am stuck on something else. I haveca static page on my home but I d like to add the teasers of the latest 3 blog posts to the bottom to have fresh content on the home all the time. Any idea on how to achieve this?
