I'm using the TwentyTen theme and at the top of every post there is some text that says "Posted by Author" and the author is a link. Can someone please tell me in non-nerdy simple terms how I can remove that from every TwentyTen post?
Thank you very much.

My buddy just helped me with that.
Go to your style sheet and insert this in the content section:
span.meta-sep { display:none; }
span.author { display:none; }
It should read:
/* =Content
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
span.meta-sep { display:none; }
span.author { display:none; }
#main {
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 40px 0 0 0;
}
#content {
margin-bottom: 36px;

I tried this and got rid of the "posted by ..." but now have ".entry-meta {display:none;}" in the top left of my theme...

alternately:
check twentyten_posted_on () functions in functions.php file and modify that function.
Look for this:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),makea backup of functions.php for modifying it.

Add this code to style.css under "/* =Content" to remove: Posted by, Posten on, Posted in and comments. Much more simple.
Code: .post .entry-utility, .post .entry-meta {display:none;}

@Ogggeee, That will remove a lot more than just the 'by Author' text though...

This is what I use and it is literally the last line of code in your Stylesheet (style.css)
}.entry-meta{display:none;}

Hi - I have a similar question and need some help please!
I've got rid of the 'by [author]' text by using the:
span.meta-sep { display:none; }
span.author { display:none; }
But I'd also like to change the 'Posted on [date]' text to just the date, and to remove the link from the date.
Any ideas?? Thank you in advance!
Don't edit the Twenty Ten theme. Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

Seconding Esmi about the IMPORTANCE of child theme. The best way to do this is to change the function in your child theme for Twenty Ten, NOT the Twenty Ten functions.php file

Hi both - thanks for the responses.
I know I know, I've been meaning to do this actually. I've been keeping a back up copy of the CSS coding I've used in case something goes wrong, but I guess that's just being lazy!
I've read the link you sent esmi and think I understand all of it except where they say:
Step 1 - Make a new directory in wp-content/themes, and name it twentyten-child (or anything you like).
Where is wp-content/themes??! Sorry, don't have a clue - any guidance would be really appreciated thank you.
Where is wp-content/themes?
In the folder where you installed WordPress on your server.

Ermmm, and how do I get there?! Sorry.
You would need to use FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

So at the risk of sounding totally dumb, I'm not sure I have actually 'installed WP on my server' - or do I have to have done? Do you know of any support docs that explain all this in really simple terms?
Thanks again for the help.

hi elly,
if you are using hostgator please let me know and I'll do a little video showing you how to accomplish this...

Elly,

If you have WordPress up and running on your site, then yes, you have WordPress installed. That should not be an issue.
I would recommend checking out the help documentation at your Web Hosting company's website, specifically looking for information about FTP access to your account.
You might also want to look at these links right here on WP.org:
FTP in Glossary
FTP Clients
Once you get into your Server with FTP, it should be simple!

Thanks for the links and guidance - I'm going to look into this and see what I can come up with...
