  Hi!

  I purchased the CSS Upgrade and am trying to make some minor changes.

  1) I would like to have only the “Author” and “Tags” portions under each post heading.
  2) I would also like to widen the width of the main content. I just switched themes and all of the pictures I upload are being cut off because there is a small width of the Clean Home Theme.
  3) Remove the information at the bottom of the page including “Blog at wordpress.com” and “Theme: Clean Home by Mid Mo Design”

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Correction to #1:

  I would like to remove the “Author” and “Tags” portions under each post. All the other existing information, I would like to keep.

  Please be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  CSS is theme specific here at wordpress.com, there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and only 2 Volunteer provide support.

  Please be patient while waiting for them to help and consult tutorials found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-css/#css-help while waiting for a Volunteer to help you. :)

  Also note that that you are not allowed to hide the web designer link and blog at wordpress.com link in the footer of the theme.

  Please do not be offended but be aware that if you intend to create a duplicate content blog wordpress.com does not allow that.Search engine spiders can detect it and when they do the original site of publication suffers the consequences http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359.

  The first section of code is about as close as I can get to only showing the date and comment links though it does rely on some CSS that won’t work in all browsers. The second block will widen your theme to fit the photos in, though I would recommend maybe shrinking the photos instead as not everyone visiting your site will have a screen that goes that wide. As mentioned above it is against the terms of service to remove the attribution links. The third section of code is an example of how you could make the footer text a little less prominent though.

  .post-meta {visibility:hidden;}
  .post-meta .post-date {visibility:visible; display:inline;}
  .post-meta>*, .post-meta>b {display:none;}
  .post-meta a[href$="#comments"], .post-meta a[href$="#respond"] {visibility:visible; display:inline;}
  
  #wrapper, .header, #footer {width:1030px;}
  .content {width:740px;}
  
  #footer {font-size:0.85em; color:#bbb;}
  #footer a {color:#999; font-weight:normal;}
