Ok good buddy…….I downloaded and installed BP-column, but here’s the strange thing………After the install, BP-column appears in my database, but not in my wordpress dashboard with my other themes. Likewise, bp-default appears in my wordpress dashboard with the rest of my themes, but not in my database.

I tried doing a custom.php, but I must be doing it wrong because it’s not working either. I used the plugin “hide pages,” which took the pages off the top and cleared the view of my custom header (except for a weird link labeled “home” at the end~ no idea why it’s there or where it came from). Anyway, the problem with the “hide pages” plugin is that it hides the pages from EVERYWHERE, not just the top.

I figure I can just add the left sidebar and put my pages in there…….or another thought that I had was to figure out a way to remove the “author box” (with my name and all that) and put my pages in where that is instead.

I’m not sure what would look better, or be the easiest way to go about it……..I’m gladly open to any suggestions you may have……..all I ask is that you take a “for dummies” approach…….lol
