two questions on layouts, single column & removing search Options

[cute_sweetie015]

I'm trying to learn how to make a single-column layout, with a module on the top...but I'm not finding much help. I don't really understand div layers...and I've been looking around for something that will give me a little background on div layers. So I'm hoping that someone here knows of a site that helps you out on div layers or a topic here on creatblog. I've searched around createblog, but w/ no success.

Also...I want to remove the search bar on my layout without removing the New Weblog Entry link...but I can't figure out how to.


Here's the code I use....it removes the search bar, but also removes the New Weblog Entry Link which I need so I can make new entries.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br />table.search TD, table.search, table.announcements {display:table.announcements;}<br /><br /><br />table.search TD, table.announcements TH {display:none;}<br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Thanx in advance for reading this and taking the time to answer.
