   If I understand it, you want to remove the date/owner of each post ???

   Wordress works with themes.
   First you need to know which theme you're using :
   Go to "Appearance" and "Themes"

   Then, locate your theme's folder in your FTP :
   It should be something like that : http://your-server/wp-content/themes/{the-theme-folder}/

   Then, download and edit the index.php (root of the theme folder) file.
   You should see something like that :
   <span class="date">Posté le <?php the_time('j F Y') ?></span>
   This is the type of Meta-data you want to remove.
   It's the same for "posted by" Meta-data.

   Then, save the index.php file and upload it to your server, and refresh the home page.

   OK !!!
   I never use Twenty Ten theme !
   Absolutely, index.php doesn't contains the body content, it contains only template calls !
   start with the first point : Remove "posted by..." META

   From what I saw in this theme, you have to edit these 2 loop files :

   • loop.php
   • loop-single.php

   But do not edit the files loop-page.php and loop-attachment.php

   In each loop file, you have to remove the lines for "Posted on" :
   

   <div class="entry-meta">
   	<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-meta -->

   I advise you to hide them instead of remove them !
   You can hide them by adding <!-- thewyse has disabled this line/field at start and --> at the end, like that :
   

   <!-- thewyse has disabled this line/field
   <div class="entry-meta">
   	<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
   -->

   Do the same for the "Posted by" (Author info)

   Then, update these 2 loop files in your server, and refresh the home page !
