  Hello,

  The following CSS should do it:

  p.postinfo {
  	display: none;
  }

  Hi, on the single post pages, the complete line of metadata underneath the title is in a single div. There is a class for the author name, but the “Posted by” before it would remain. You can add the following to see what I mean.

  .single a[rel="author"] {
      display: none;
  }

  You can hide the entire line of meta text with the following if that works for you.

  .single .post-meta {
  display: none;
  }

  Thanks a lot! Is there any way I could make the side bar appear on my post pages? Also I was wondering if it possible to create post template so that I don’t have to upload the same “featured image” to every post?

  Is there any way I could make the side bar appear on my post pages?

  At WordPress.com, the theme you are using determines whether or not a sidebar appears on single posts—you cannot use CSS to add one, but in this case TheStyle theme already has the option so you’re in luck!

  You can make a sidebar display on single posts by going to Appearance > Widgets in your dashboard and adding some widgets to the “Single Post/Page Sidebar” area.

  Also I was wondering if it possible to create post template so that I don’t have to upload the same “featured image” to every post?

  That’s not possible here at WordPress.com. When it comes to adding dynamic content or customizing theme PHP code or adding a function that isn’t already there, those kinds of things cannot be done with CSS only and you would need to purchase a web hosting account from a hosting company and switch to a WordPress.org setup where you install the open source WordPress software and then you would need to write some custom code to make changes like that.
