Hi, to show the date, but none of the other post meta data, remove this from your custom CSS
```
.entry-meta {
    display: none;
}
```
and add the following.
```
span.author, span.tags-links, span.comments-link, span.entry-format {
    display: none;
}
```

If you want to hide the tags only, as you mentioned in your other thread, add this instead.
```
span.tags-links {
    display: none;
}
```

Hi. Here comes oliver :)
What do I do to prevent the menu links appearing on each of my posts.? That’s a duplication of the menu already and is unnecessary (e.g “moral musing” is showing on my latest post. Wanna remove it and to reduce the empty space too.
thanks

Oliver, I use the built-in browser developer tool in Firefox to help me identify the CSS for page elements I or others want to change. We have some brief introductory videos on using the browser developer tools in the major browsers at: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/ . Take a look and get familiar with using it. It will help with CSS.

Are you taking about the Category name above the meta on the left?

To remove that from Category pages, you can add the following CSS.
```
.archive .entry-header {
    display: none;
}
```
The above will reduce the white space a little. You can add the following to tighten it up even further. 102px is the default value.
```
.archive .hentry {
    padding-top: 102px;
}
```
The above two solutions affect only archive, tags and categories pages. If you want it to apply to all pages and posts, not just archives and such, remove the .archive and trailing space from the selectors.

Thanks man again. Particularly for the firefox tool. I’ll check it up.
Yea, the “.archive .entry-header { display: none; }” worked but also removed the title of the post. I wanted to retain that. Any way round that? Thanks again.

what I meant was if you clicked the first menu ( Nigeria….) and apply the above code, it would remove the category (Nigeria….) but also the title of the post next to it (firetruck…)
Thanks

Oops, my bad. :( This will do it for you.
```
.archive .entry-header .categories-links {
    display: none;
}
```
