  I no longer want my ‘About’ information to appear on my home page – how do I remove it?

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

  Hi, and thanks for getting back to me! It’s not the actual ‘About’ page I want to remove – when I started this blog I put some ‘About’ information so it would appear below each blog post – can’t remember how or why I did it, but I really don’t want it there any more and now I can’t seem to find how to remove it! It’s not in the sidebar, so the Widgets are no help – it appears between the post area and the comment area, and just looks like it’s getting in the way. If you’ve got any tips for removing it, I’d be eternally grateful!

  I understand.
  Maybe you can try this:

  Go to http://annabellefranklinauthor.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php

  Posts-> Show author

  Tried it, but the ‘customize’ page didn’t give an option for ‘posts’. Also tried accessing the ‘posts’ page through my admin dashboard and unchecking ‘show author’ there, but the sticky info didn’t budge. Looks like I’m stuck with it!
  Thanks for trying, anyway!
