Hey everyone!
I'm brand new to DW, I used to be around LJ a lot, but after their latest attempt at trying to "fix" things that did not need to be fixed, I felt like it was the very last drop and decided to jump ship-- As I'm sure many more will, after all, why are we paying people to only make our life more difficult with their "updates", right?
But here is the thing: I don't know anything (and I truly mean anything) about CSS or HTML.
Yes, I was able to find a tutorial made by a very, very kind soul, explaining how to pass the Flexible Squares layout over here-- Something that I have accomplished! Same with the custom CSS I used to have, back then.
Problem is, for some reason, in the navigation bar at the header, besides the usual "Recent Posts", "Friends", "Archive" and "Profile" that we can change the texts for, I now also have a "Tags" and "Memories" on the bar.
I thought I could possibly figure out how to make them disappear on my own, but, well, turns out I can't.
The case in question is not on this account, which I will be "prettifying", later today, but if someone could give me some lights as to how to make those two options disappear from the navigation bar (or, at least, how to change the text for them) I would appreciate tons!
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, thank you so much for your time and help! I'll make sure to check if you ever do manage to do that-- But, in the meantime, again, thank you!
I'll be sure to try and find one!

Not all of the themes in it are up to date but it might be a bit easier to sort through the basics of what you might want.
Made-for-DW layouts actually have a lot of interesting advantages over imported LJ ones. For instance, all DW styles (except bastard stepchild Zesty) have a modules system that lets you customize what goes into the sidebar. Many have several different layout types (single column, sidebar on left, sidebar on right, etc). A lot of layouts let you use custom background images without knowing HTML or CSS.
