    Via the options page, I have selected "Only display the sidebar on the home page" which has been a great addition to reducing the length of the page on the "about me" page. However, I'm planning on installing a gallery feature which will use pages. I'd like to take advantage of all the usable space beneath the header image (720-ish px) instead of the 500-ish px I currently have at my disposal.

    I'm sure there's a way to completely remove the sidebar space on a page, but I'm not quite savvy enough to do it. I'd appreciate any help! :) Ta!

    Basically, you need to create a new page template, using one of ours as a starting point, and make sure that you don't use any of the divs that do positioning stuff. Here's some example code for such a page template:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Links
    */
    ?>
    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id="gallery">
    <p>Your code and content goes here.</p>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Basically, just do whatever you want between <?php get_header(); ?> and <?php get_footer(); ?>. Those two includes will do all the rest of the work.

    Hooray! After a break for dinner, I've got it up and running. I'll post a link when I have real content to show. :) Guess I need to start taking photos again!

    The gallery, after creating some content, is up and running. See either:
