There is a tiny wren that keeps repeating the same descending scale for hours and hours. and hours. but I'm sleeping now so I can't hear it.

I know. text files. but I'm lazy…

(Well it's morning where I am, and the birds have started to sing...)

As for the code snippets, I keep them in a text file, not as working samples in the test blog.

Yes.
I think just deleting the widgets would do it, but the weird stuff going on with html background code is sort of puzzling. Like why would it cover up the header on Digg3 and some other themes? I'm not smart enough to figure out why that is happening or what use it would be, so yes, just delete. delete. delete.
yes
reverberations of Dr. Who…
delete…

If it's just a test blog, it shouldn't matter.

I've been using it to store code snippets, and it has some background color codes and stuff that even hide the Digg3 clunky header image (how did that happen?) Even Chaos Theory is messed up. imported posts from my "real" blog for test purposes, and a small gallery of images. Oh, and widgets added. And I've apparently added links to navigation tabs, maybe a static home page, but not in all theme???. Child pages that don't seem to have parents or maybe they are just hidden. Text widgets and otherwise. and i guess code from people's questions, like their images or other stuff.

Anyway, the OP (original poster) has now edited the about page and still does not have info about adding a text widget to her blog for the "about me" thingy. Sorry.

Anyway, I'd probably start by deleting all posts and text widgets.

Is there a tip about making it pristine again? I can't seem to answer anything anymore…

Sorry for hijacking this thread.
