halp with a blogger template issue (xml) would be much appreciated :(

Hello all, I'm pretty new here. Trying to get active on the forums etc... I'm using a blogger template called typoork and i had a few questions. if anyone can help i would be eternally grateful and happy to help out with any favors in return if i can o___o

anyway, a few questions...

1. how do i get rid of the save to delicious/ retweet thingy where my subject is?! i triedddd so hard to figure out what to change or delete but i can't seem to figure this out

2. is it possible to put text at the top where the blue bar is?

3. how can i make it so an image border is automatically added? something with a bit of white space & then a line bordering the picture

4. are there any errors in the code that i messed up while editing?

Thanks in advance? xD

You can remove the Delicious and TweetMeme links by editing the template and removing everything between  and .
You can replace  between <div id="typoork-header"> and </div> with a header tag and apply a style to the tag with the theme's stylesheet. (Or an image, if you have an image you want to use instead. ;) )
Assuming you want this additional padding to only be applied to the images you embed inside posts, you can add a line similar to the following near .post-body-n {:
.post-body-n img { padding: 5px; }
The number can be adjusted as you wish or we can get more fine-grained about how it's applied (to each side and whatnot) if you don't like the results you get with that.
I'm just going off of the original template (it's easier for me to work with that), so you might want to re-download the original, make the changes I have suggested here, and then overwrite your template (unless you've made other modifications).

omg. you rule. thank you so, so much. i was able to figure out some of stuff on my own, but most this is is just wayyy over my head @___@

i have a couple of other questions if anybody can help

1. is there any way to put the blogger toolbar thing back at the top of the page?

2. when clicking on individual posts or clicking older posts, etc, the size of the tables on the left is widened. why is this? D:

3. on the comments page, there's an added thing that says "do you have any suggestions?" blah, blah, is there any way to get rid of that?

You can restore the Blogger toolbar by removing #navbar{display:none; height:0; visibility:hidden;} from the theme, but you might notice slight shifting problems with the layout. (This is just a hunch, so you may or may not run into any problems, and if you do they will be easily corrected.)
Your resizing issue is caused by a combination of the layout's setup and the two side-by-side images you have in this post, which are causing the sidebar to be resized so that they can remain side-by-side. You'll have to watch the width of your media content if you intend to use this theme without causing the sidebar to resize itself.
You can change and/or remove the line about suggestions on the comment page by locating and changing/removing/commenting out this line: <td width="435"><strong>Do you have any suggestions?</strong> Add your comment. Please don't spam!<br /> .
