  Hi, I’m trying to remove the “Author: Duff” that appears above my blog posts. I do not see this when I view my site through wordpress.com when I am logged in, but it looks like this when I access the site after googling it. Help!!

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

  Hi there,

  The Tonal theme you’re using on your blog displays the author at the bottom of individual blog posts like this one:

  http://thepragmaticpathologist.com/2015/04/27/you-say-potato-i-say-po-tah-toe/

  You will also see a header that says “Author: Duff” on the author archives page:

  http://thepragmaticpathologist.com/author/duffs007/

  Those are built in to your theme’s design. You can customize your theme’s design, for example to remove the author on those pages, using Custom CSS (part of your WordPress.com Premium upgrade). We have tips for getting started with CSS here:

  If you’d like to see how other people customize their sites with CSS, or get advice on how to make that change, we also have a CSS Customization forum. It can be a great place to get ideas and help from others (including some volunteers with extensive CSS experience).
