  What CSS code do I need to remove post dates from the Dynamic News theme?
  Do I need to do this for each past and future post or is there a way to do it so it fixes all past ones and is the default for all future ones?
  Will removing dates from past posts also remove them their listings on Google? If not, how can I accomplish this?
  Can I do all of this staying on WordPress.com or do I need to go to .org?

  Thank you?

  To be clearer about my related question about the Google listings – I want to know how to remove the dates from the summaries of my posts that appear in the Google listings (not remove the the post from the Google listing)

  And, do you know whether removing the dates retroactively will affect their Google ranking? Thanks.

  You can remove your post’s dates with the following CSS:

  /* Remove Post Date */
  .meta-date {
    display: none;
  }
  
  /* Adjust Post Author Appearance */
  .meta-author.sep {
    padding-left: 0;
    border-left: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
  }
