  CSS will hide the author in a browser, but that information is still in the HTML markup for the search engines to see, it just wouldn’t display to normal visitors. In order to totally remove the author, would require editing of the PHP script files, and we cannot do that at WordPress.com. If you wish to hide it from normal visitors, the following CSS will do that.

  .by-author {
      display: none;
  }
