Displaying Network/Tags/Memories

Is there a way to hide the links to the network/memories/tags pages on the top of my journal? They're features I love, but I don't want them displayed on my layout.

I'm using an imported layer/style in advanced customizations. It's for Flexible Squares and then I used the custom CSS option for most things (written by someone else for LJ). In the "Text" customization area, I only have options for recent entries, friend's page, profile, and archive. Anything I don't want to display, I just put in a space and that works, but I can't find anything for network, memories, or tags. Is there some CSS I can add to hide it? Or is it impossible to do because of the style I'm using or because it's something paid accounts can't opt out of?

Sorry to butt in. I tried first to modify the layer, but it kept prompting me with errors (I'm assuming I'm pasting the code where I shouldn't). I know my way around customizing layers, BUT never used flexible squares layout before. Hence I don't know where to paste things.

Then I tried the CSS part and it worked, BUT I only want tags and memories gone from the nav bar and my website -which I already have in my sidebar-

I'm not very knowledgable in Css, so I don't know how to code that. Would you mind helping me out! I've gone crazy about this, for over a week!

The problem here is you're using Flexible Squares, which is imported from LJ and not a DW supported layout, it's basically not as flexible as native DW stuff. To hide a specific element using CSS that element needs to have a name, the native DW layouts name each thing, but Flexible Squares doesn't.

I suspect the above layer code will have the same problem, it's for a Core2 layout, not an imported Core1 layout.

I would like it if someone with the coding skills made a CSS converter so people could swap Flexible Squares CSS over to a decent underlying layer instead, but it's completely beyond my ken.

So basically, Flexible Squares is less flexible than some other layouts...
