  Hi, there.

  I would like my posts not to show the date they were posted.
  Is it possible to do that? How?

  Thanks.

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

  WordPress.com permalinks cannot be restructured to remove dates. There is no search engine gaming here. All permalinks to post contain the date of publication in them.

  Even if you could change the permalink structure so that it no longer displays /yyyy/mm/dd/ as part of the URL, you’d still have the date displayed on each post. To hide it, you’d need the Custom Design upgrade and knowledge of the CSS language.

  Please note that you have the option of publishing pages instead (which do not display the date at all). However, doing so could affect your search engine ranking.

  Hi there. The season I didn’t mention removing the dates by means of customs design, because I find it hard to believe that anyone would pay $30.00 annually renewable upgrade when the permalinks will still contain the date despite CSS editing. But then again, you never know so thanks for posting it. :)
