Basic Theme Header Changes

How to Remove the Wordpress Generator meta tag 

One of the First this you should do is to take out the " < meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>" / > < !– leave this for stats — > line out of the Header of you template.

As off WordPress version 2.6 and up, the Generator version is automaticly inserted into the header.
To remove it, you have to add an new line into your header.php file:

<?php remove_action(’sbc_head’, ‘sbc_generator’); ?>  

Search Engines will use this as an indication that it probably is a Blog and not your static website.

How to Remove the RSS feed from WordPress

Here is another Blog indicator, the RSS Feed options, you can take this line out as well.

 < link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ? > RSS Feed" href="< ?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ? >" / >

Also the Template link to the RSS Feed subscription
  < li class="rss"><a href="< ?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ? >">RSS</a></li >

This does not remove the possibility to use a RSS Feed in WordPress, its just no longer "autodiscoverd".

If you plan on using a Blog page, just leave it as it is!.
