I don't understand theme layers. I do very well at cutting and pasting code to do this or that thing, but figuring out what the various classes and functions and *writing* my own workarounds? Even after reading the nifty S2 theme guide... no clue.
Anyways, there are a few things I had in my previous flexible squares layout that I'd like to replicate for Expressive, but I can't quite figure out how to translate the one into the other.
(1) customizing the comments links - i.e, adding or removing mem/edit/track, or reordering the links
(2) adding links to the main nav bar (Recent/Archive/Friends/Profile/Web site), removing Mem --- SOLVED
(3) adding a new section to the sidebar, such as a random quote generator
I'd also like to remove the user name from under the userpic in the "Profile" sidebar. --- SOLVED
Help?

You can add extra ones as I have done here - blue text. You could remove the memories one by removing the red text.

but make sure you cange the text there to whatever you have set for each. Whatever text you put there determines what links will not display. This bit if code basically prints all the usual links (Recent, Archive, Friends, Userinfo) except those specified, in this case Archive and Friends.
