I want to remove the Feed button and the datepost author info from my wordpress powered site. I want it to look more like a website than a blog. How do I do this? Edit the main templete file? What about the single post? Or am I way off?
Ya, for the home page, you must be having home.php or index.php. And for single post, you must be having single.php. Just remove the code from these files thru the Apearance ==> Theme Editor in your wp-admin panel. If you have any specific page templates, or if the "Feed on" code is present in header, you would have to delete it from there.
You can find the information on your dashboard because some wordpress themes comes with settings panel of these things. If you want to remove manually then you need to edit your header.php and single.php for removing header links and author name. It is easy like 123.
