    How do you remove the blog title and tag line from the front page of the site without removing it from the page title? I'm having a custom graphic for the page title so the text is not required but the image as a link back to the main page would be desirable. Im having a little problem finding the code for it =). I'm assuming in doing this it will not remove it for all other users?

    1) edit the CSS and make the h1 tag display:none, then throw in your image into the homepage. It'll be in header.php most likely.

    Suleiman's suggestion will work, but my preference is to edit the header.php file as so:

    Comment out:
    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
    <?php bloginfo('description'); ?>

    So the result will be something like this:

    /*
    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
    <?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
    */

    llamaman's suggestion is better, since ultimately you would need to edit header.php to stick an image in there anyways.

    To comment out html you need to use <!-- and -->

    so the result should be like this:
    <!--
    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
    <?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
    -->

    Or if you want to comment out the php then it should be like this:

    <?php //bloginfo('name'); ?>
    <?php //bloginfo('description'); ?>

    You may also want to look up Themes and the tweaking thereof in the codex. This is not MU-specific, but basic WP skills. :)
