1.) How do I setup a conditional variable so when there are no entries it posts the following text in the title position “There are no events at this time.”?

For example:

{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" orderby='expiration_date' sort='asc' limit="3" category="2"}
 <li>
 <div class="txt">
 <h3><a href="http://{exp:brilliant_retail:path">{title}</a></h3>
<p> </div> </li> <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

2.) How do I setup a conditional variable so when there is an empty field it doesn’t show? In this case, it’s an image. If I don’t have an image it shows a white box. I would like it to show nothing.

For example:

{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="1"}
<div id="subject">
     
 {blog_photo_detail}


  {blog_content}
        </div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks.

mod edit: wrapped examples in code tags for readability.

1.

{exp:channel:entries channel=“blog” orderby=‘expiration_date’ sort=‘asc’ limit=“3” category=“2”}
    {if no_results}
        There are no events at this time
    {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

See Channel Entries documentation - http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/channel_entries.html#if-no-results

2.

Simply wrap the variable in an if statement:

{if blog_photo_detail}
    {blog_photo_detail}
{/if}

Great, that worked. Thanks for your help.
