    I'm trying to use Piano Black so I can have the sidebar only on the main page, and then having no sidebar on the posts themselfs. But I'm not being able to get this done.

    please help me!

    thanks

    I'm an idiot I know...

    The blog I need help with is oficlide.wordpress.com.

    Hi there,
    Pages are not Posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    No Sidebar Pages
    Optionally hide the sidebar on pages using the “Full-width, no sidebar” template option when creating or editing a page. Content on pages using this template will span the entire width of the layout. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/piano-black/

    Does that mean I'm stuck with the sidebar on my posts then?

    I can only have a nice fullwidth page on pages not on posts?

    anyway to have the sidebar only on the main page and then having nosidebar once inside the post?

    I'm asking this because I use a lot the links on the mainpage of my blog, but once inside the post it would be nice to have fullwidth so the videos people share on the blog will be a bit bigger

    thanks

    Yes. That's exactly what it means. Please see this if you wish to locate another theme that provides what you want "Sidebar optional:" on posts.
    Sidebars and other widget areas: number and position

    "Sidebar optional" means you can enable or disable the sidebar for the whole blog, not selectively. If what you want is sidebar on the main page but no sidebar when viewing a single post, see here:

    You're welcome.

    You could also consider switching to a wider theme instead of a no-sidebar-on-posts theme. See here:
