Removing author and date from posts in Opti Theme
-
I would like to remove the author and date from posts in Opti Theme. I am the only person contributing, so it seems a little over-the-top to note that I am the author of each post. I don’t want my readers (ha – I think I have about 5) to think that I am all about myself. I don’t want to appear to be so proud of everything that I write that I have to stamp my name all over it. Can you help me? Is this a CSS thing? I don’t know a darned thing about CSS, but maybe this would be a great place to start. I just need to know if it is possible.
Thanks SO much, friends! RenThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there – you can remove the author and date with this CSS code:
.postmetadata {
display: none;
}Just head over to Appearance > Custom Design, and click on the CSS tab.
Copy-paste the above code into the CSS area, below the green block of comments, and save your settings. Voila!

OH YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! I thought Happiness Engineer was possibly a bit hyperbolic, but it’s not – it is a true and accurate title! You made me so happy I want to get up on my desk, flip over onto my back and twirl! I wonder if someone would come by and give me a spin. Thanks so much for the quick response – you gave me exactly what I needed.
