The theme is deliberately provided with all the possible elements to allow you to choose some.

• Remove the elements that you do not want to keep inside sidebar.php, through the theme editor.
• It is advisable for SEO to remove the blogroll, the calendar.
• You can edit the style sheet (style.css) to change the minimum and maximum width, in the body descriptor.
