  Good morning,
  I am trying to find a way to improve use of space for blog posts. With the yoko theme the date takes up a significant amount of space on the left hand side.
  1. Not show a date on blog posts.
  or 2. Move the date so its within the blog post area.

  If I can do this – I can buy the custom theme option. Otherwise I will have to find another theme. I like the clean look of the blog page, with a second smaller column for widgets. If I can’t change the theme to be the way I would prefer it, if anyone has other theme recommendations, please let me know.

  If you buy the Custom Design upgrade you can modify the layout – for instance make the title and the content of the post start flush left (below the date). But I don’t think it’s worth buying the upgrade just for that: better select a different theme. There are many “clean” themes with a sidebar. You can see all the themes in action here:

  Picking another theme is one good option. Here are some notes about your CSS question as well if you’re interested.

  1. Not show a date on blog posts.

  To hide the date on single posts in the Yoko theme, add this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

  .entry-date {
  	display: none;
  }
