Re Archives. I don't know what skin your using ( it's terrific by the way ), I think you need to take a look at your archives plugin and see where the <h2></h2> tag is as well as the smaller <h3> tag....and simply delete the one you don't want or change the wording.
Also look at your "disp=arcdir" page as that wrapper page may contain one of the headings.

Hey John

Thanks so much for your replys! The skin I'm using is just the custom skin, that I formatted with CSS to fit the layout of the rest of my site. Thanks for the compliment.

Re: Read More - The suggestion from the other post you sent me worked perfectly!

Re: Archives - No luck here. I've tried to sift through the code on those two pages (skins --> "_arcdir.disp.php" and plugins --> "_archives.plugin.php") to try to find the place where that code occurs. I can't seem to track down any reference to that title bar. Any other thoughts?

Thanks again.

I just wanted to check in again to see if anyone could solve the problem with my blog's Archives page addressed in previous posts of this thread. I've got an "Archives" title bar appearing twice on this page:

I would really like to eliminate the second title bar that appears below the first one. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't seem to find where it's occurring in my code. Thanks!

Has anyone been able to troubleshoot this problem at all? Even a suggestion about where to start would be super helpful. I'm still at a bit of a loss...
