Solved a couple problems from the info here... [#158067]

but I still have a few small issues I can't work out. If you can walk me through how to fix them, it would be greatly appreciated.

#1 - On my site, there are some navigation elements that are hanging around, below the advertisement and above the updates box. I have removed the navigation block altogether, but no help, and I have enabled it again on the right sidebar, but these elements still remain. Any idea how to remove them?

#2 - I'm unsure where the search box comes from. Is it written into the template? I have a different search block I'd prefer to use. This problem isn't major, but it would be nice to move that search box down. (Currently it isn't an enabled block, it's just there)

#3 - Are users allowed to modify the footer area, and if so, how? I'm also very interested in removing the ubercart info since I have disabled the ubercart module (to my knowledge). I know this is not an issue with the theme, but I thought maybe I could resolve this issue with the footer issue. If not, I apologize, I'm still pretty new at using Drupal.

Thank you for your help and the beautiful template. I've definitely been getting some good feedback from it.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix these small problems? Can someone with experience in creating themes please check out my site and let me know how to remove or move the search box and remove the floating navigation area in the left sidebar?

Thanks in advance.

Some pointers

Regarding #1, that is the secondary menu. Try looking in page.tpl.php for 'secondary'. In the unmodified theme it looks like

          <?php if (isset($secondary_links)) : ?>
            <?php print theme('links', $secondary_links, array('class' => 'links secondary-links')) ?>
          <?php endif; ?>

You can unset the secondary menu under 'Administer' -> 'Site Building' -> Menus -> 'Settings' (tab) and setting 'Menu containing secondary links:' to 'No Secondary Links'

#2 comes from

<?php if ($search_box): ?><div class="block block-theme"><?php print $search_box ?></div><?php endif; ?>

You should be able to disable this under 'Administer' -> 'Site Building' -> 'Themes' -> 'Configure' (tab)
Select your theme and under 'Toggle Display' make sure 'Search box' is unchecked.

Regarding #3 you can change the footer, see 'Administer' -> 'Site Configuration' -> 'Site Information' -> 'Footer Message' (text area).

I have one more question.

To add my own header without the site name showing up on top of it, I had to put a blank space as the site name. Doing so made the site name no longer show up in the address bar at the top of the browser. Is there a way to keep the site name out of the header area, but show up in the address bar?
