  Hi all,

  I’m testing out CSS changes to Vigilance in a dummy blog, http://localktest.wordpress.com .

  I’d like to move the “author” and “tags” meta to the bottom of my post (where comments and categories appear). Does anyone know the CSS code for this? I’ve made a few attempts, but I’m not seeing where Vigilance actually specifies the location of the meta.

  On a related note, I tried a few different codes to hide the ‘author’ information (I’m the only author, so it’s a bit redundant); I tried:

  .author {display: none;}

  and

  .meta-author {display: none;}

  but neither worked. Assuming I just have the selector name wrong, but I don’t see that anywhere either. Not pivotal, but now I’m curious.

  Thanks much in advance for any advice.

  Kaela

  CSS is theme specific here at wordpress.com, there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, please be patient and consult tutorials found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-css/#css-help while waiting for a Volunteer to help you. :)

  Does this help?

  When you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing. Read this for more info:

  The following code should do what you need:

  .post {position:relative; padding-bottom:2.2em;}
  .meta {margin:0;}
  .meta .tags {position:absolute; bottom:30px; right:0;}
  .meta .author {display:none;}
