  1. Thank you SO MUCH! I was getting so frustrated with all the tips that weren't working. I really appreciate you posting this. Another tip gave the same instruction but failed to mention to Expand Widget Templates. BIG step!!! 🙂 Thanks again!

  2. I have an easier way of doing this with no need to delete anything, simply by using CSS.

    Look for the Header section in the CSS part of your template. It looks like this:

    /* Header
    ----------------------------------------------- */

    Now under this CSS section for your Header, put this piece of code (preferably at the bottom):

    .date-header {visibility: hidden;}

    And there you go 😀

  3. Go to Layout -> Click 'Edit' in the bottom of Blog Posts and Uncheck the option "Posted by"
    Very Simple. Do not try to edit html directly if options are there.

  4. thanks a lot for the tips.
    What Sunil said only works for original blogger templates. For customized templates, you've got to edit html 🙂
