Merry Christmas, Jim, and thanks for the update.
I *WISH* I had that “problem”. < BG >
I’ve tried everything I can think of to eliminate ALL the sidebars completely from my display, but no luck. All I want/use/read are the centre menu articles, but I still have the: latest, editorial, front page news, extended, breaking, weird stuff and Free Republic sidebars.
I’ve moved them all to one side, that seem to make their presence less of an issue for me. In fact I have even used the weird stuff sidebar a couple of times recently.
That others like them is fine with me, and I’m glad they are there for those folks.
Enough kvetching, I love the site, and whatever you do with it is your business. I’m grateful you allow myself and so many others to visit your living room and discuss the day’s events.
G_d bless you and yours, Merry Christmas and a Happy, prosperous New Year.
Well, if you successfully moved them all, you should be able to disable them all with the same program. Just select “Disabled” on each sidebar block rather than Right, Left, etc, then click the Update button on the bottom. Merry Christmas!
