  I would like to remove the “Posted by” line in Ocean Mist theme because it takes up a large part of the header and squeezes my header text into several lines. I have no problem purchasing CSS edit to do this, but I am not familiar with CSS, so I need advice. I don’t want to purchase CSS if I can’t remove the Posted By.

  Please look at http://sevenseaswaterpark.wordpress.com to see my dilemma.

  Thanks.

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

  This will get rid of the posted by, but also takes out the date.

  .title small {display:none; }

  Thanks.

  I tried this and it worked in the preview pane, so I bought CSS extensions and saved to the style sheet as an add on.

  However, the live page still doesn’t reflect the change that the preview page shows. Am I doing something wrong? It worked correctly in preview mode.

  1. Did you “save” the stylesheet changes? I don’t see evidence that the change was saved.

  That appears to be my problem. When I click the button for “Preview”, another tab opens up showing me exactly what I want. Then I press the button “Save Stylesheet.” and I see the message “Stylesheet saved.” above the CSS window. However, nothing changes on the active site.

  I tried several times, on the MAC and on the PC, and I don’t understand why the changes I see in the preview tab doesn’t show up on the actual blog site. How difficult could this be?

  Until you purchase the upgrade you will not be able to save the changes.

  @sevenseas, I’m not seeing that the stuff was saved. There is no evidence when looking at your blog with Firebug.

  .title small {
  display:none !important;
  }

  Remove everything from the CSS edit window, delete everything and then paste the above into the CSS edit window and click “save stylesheet.” The “important” attribute should not be needed, but just in case.

  Whew! I knew it should, but I also knew there was always a chance something in the back end was messed up.

  You are welcome.
