Well, I still can't figure a way to remove a link to an image I don't intend to use, and still haven't found how to put in the site banner of my choice. The folders are NOT helpful and the templates area is NOT complete.

Documentation how-to's presume knowledge far above a non-geek. "Web sites for me and you" presume me knows more than you, or you don't get what you want here (however simple).

Pixy needs to answer my request for help changing the banner at my OLD blog with mu.nu (long since abandoned) to start me up again with a platform I could understand and find extensive document help for.

This groping in the dark is ridiculous.

Interesting. I just lost a post.

It appears that I can not delete a too-large image from my STYLES/IMAGES folder, and also can not delete a wrong link in the style sheet to that image. I can't get the template to accept any changes I make to it.

And I hate the generic banner I am being forced into accepting after my options to FIX the problem were so severely cramped here.

Navigation and explanation  are missing here. Those who are not geeks will find this very complicated and overburdensome in its organization. I know damn well I have.

Since WHEN can't a site admin remove his/her own image from a file?

I was going to start out differently here with a simple explanation of this site and its goals. Instead I find myself utterly baffled by this software platform, and puzzling differences between it and other blogging platforms (at least from the no-geek-spoken-here crowd including myself).

Above is a combination of events I could have avoided, had I only been allowed to add padding above my own banner, to drop it below the mee.nu "bug" in the upper right corner. But for some reason the two images overlap. Worse yet, I'm not sure what to do about removing or moving the other mee.nu text appearing at the top of the page.

Also, I'm frankly still in the settings-stages, trying to work off old Movable Type style-sheet notes, trying to refine the broad strokes before seriously jumping into daily posting. It would greatly help if there were BEGINNERS instructions on where to find the proper template, copy it for offline changes, and then how to load the new file, and into which folder, AND what to say in the overall index for the blog.

As I see it, these are greatly scattered in this chaotic start-up system. As I see it, ME 'N' YOU is supposed to be far more user-friendly than its initial impression has given me.

Why, for example, does this system refuse to allow creation of a new category, before entering the post?
