How to remove the sidebar from single post pages - customized Classic theme.

    I customized the CSS based on the WordPress Classic theme, mostly by trial and error since I know nothing about CSS. Everything works except that the sidebar (with the calendar, archives listing, etc.) blocks post content on screens smaller than 15". Is there a way to remove the sidebar from single post pages?

    (There are instructions online about editing the single.php file, but I don't seem to have one of those, or can't find it.)

    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is cohn17.com.

    Is there a way to remove the sidebar from single post pages?

    To hide the sidebar on single posts on the WordPress Classic theme at WordPress.com, add this CSS to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

    .single #menu {
	display: none;
}

    Just an aside, editing the single.php file is something you can do with a WordPress.org blog but not with a WordPress.com blog, so you were probably looking at a tutorial for the former. :) If you want to learn more about the differences, see http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
