Is there a way I can customise the blog module entirely the way I want it?

1. Modifying the module means modifying the code for that module. Blog is a core module,it is not a good idea to modify core. So if you want something completely different at a functional level, you may as well write a new module.

2. CSS have to do with presentation and appearance. You would modify the CSS if you wanted to change the appearances. The style of some elements (colour, font etc..) or its location, or whether it appears or not.

3. You may even make some modifications at a higher level by configuring in the admin menu. You could change the region it shows there and others.

What if I wanted to do something as simple as turning off the link to the author's blog. Right now I have a link on each entry ( i.e. "administrator's blog" ) that will take the user to a list of the blog entries made under that login.

How would I turn that off without modifying the module?

I tried removing all of the modules I installed over the last few days and nothing worked. I have no idea where I muffed it up but I am up a creek at this point. I just would hate to have to start over...
