Post installation

Ok - I have a few misc questions:

1. on this page:
http://www.centernetworks.com/tag/insights
Is there a way to remove "Allen's Blog" and "add new comment" from this page? Basically I only want the comment piece on the actual piece of content itself, nowhere else. I do not want "bla bla's blog" to appear anywhere.

Is there a good way to hide the latitude/longitude fields in cck? I've seen a couple ideas, but I didn't find a way that seemed to be accepted by the masses. I would very much prefer that my users not even be able to see these fields.

Any ideas?

For my site, I want to have blog posts to be mirrored in multiple places. Is there any way I can get just the blog post and display it within a page?

I am willing to use php if need be.

Hi drupal'ers -- Is there a way to add locations for where blocks appear?

Basically what I want to do is this

CONTENT --- blocks ---- blocks

and i know i could move the left menu grid to the right but i want both to have a different layout potentially.

so how do i add locations to blocks?

THanks,
Allen
