Answer 2

More in depth answer....

This code sets the variable hide_sidebar to 1:

<mt:Var name="hide_sidebar" value="1">

The sidebar in the classic blog template set is wrapped in the following conditional code which will have no output if hide_sidebar is set to 1:

<mt:Unless name="hide_sidebar">
    <!-- sidebar code here -->
</mt:Unless>

This solution can be manually added to any template set, but this code can be found in the Classic Blog template set that ships with MT 4.x.
