Thread: Disabling Ad functionality, to achieve a basic Blog in the style of ClassiPress

Disabling Ad functionality, to achieve a basic Blog in the style of ClassiPress

I am building a Multisite Network using ClassiPress, where each of the sub-sites is associated with a specific region (like Craigslist).

The sub-sites are straightforward to me; it is the main site I am confused about implementing. Here's why:

1. I want the main site to have the same appearance (style) as the Sub-sites (i.e. look like a ClassiPress site, with the below differences).
2. I want the main site to be a static Page that has a list of links to each Sub-site; some other Pages such as a About, FAQ, and Contact; and a Blog that will be updated weekly.
3. I do not want the main site to have classified ad-related elements, such as a list of ad categories, list of ads, the "Post an Ad" button, a user Dashboard, etc.

Here is a block diagram of what I want to achieve:

How do you think one can achieve this?
