    How can I take a single "Page" I created in Wordpress and remove all of the formatting for just that single page. Here's what I mean. Take a look at this page.

    http://www.netgolfgames.com/orangecoastfleet/credit-application/

    I want to remove that middle grey bar and the "Recent News / Hot Deals" section for just this one page, so I can spread my credit application out over the entire page. Any way to do this in Wordpress?

    Use a custom page template

    i.e edit page.php to remove the include sidebar function and save it as something different (custom1.php for example), then on under Edit Page in Wordpress, select the custom page template at the bottom

    That's a super slow and amateurish way to do this. Depending on your needs a simple html page would solve all your problems.

    Initially I was designing a static HTML page to do this, but creating another custom template page seemed like the right way to go. It took about 2 minutes, and the results are clean, so I'm sticking with it.

    No it isn't, it's the RIGHT way to do it

    The whole point of a CMS is to be able to edit content without editing code, so retaining the functionality of the CMS should be high priority.

    That really defeats the purpose of using a CMS...I'd say that using an html page would be amateurish...

    well, if it solves his problem then let it be, if its the most convenient way for the user, amateurish or not then that's the best way...
