Layout questions

I have some questions on how to create a layout: what I want is a Title page with a Title, author, no date and some other data, I also want to be able to use chapters but without a label saying for example chapter 1. I hope someone knows how to do this. -- Maarten C. K

page numbers

how do I change the pagenumbers? I don't want for example a page number on the first page (Title page). -- Maarten C. Kruithof Delft University of Technology The Netherlands --
