  Hello. I am trying to hide the author from a new business blog I’m starting. I’ve tried many css modifications, but can’t find the right one for the Basis theme. Any thoughts?

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

  To hide the post author on Basis, you can use the following CSS.

  .post-author {
      display: none;
  }

  I see you have hidden the footer credits. Those have to remain in place and readable here at WordPress.com per the Terms of Service (#11).

  You can restyle the existing footer credits to fit in with your design, but they have to remain readable, so could you please remove the CSS that you used to hide them.

  I see thanks. How do I modify the footer credits?

  On the footer credits, you can do something like the following. The first rule makes the existing footer credit font normal instead of bold, makes it a bit lighter and reduces the size a little. The second rule makes your added footer test bold, changes the color from a dark grey to a black and makes it a little larger.

  .theme-byline a {
      color: #bbb;
      font-weight: normal;
      font-size: 90%;
  }
  .footer-text {
      font-weight: bold;
      color: #000;
      font-size: 110%;
  }
