 * Hi guys,
 * I’ve tried using all the custom CSS everyone has been posting, but I can’t manage
   to get rid of the author link of my articles. I don’t want the Author to be shown
   on the home page nor on the individual articles. Anyone know whats up? Site is
   [http://www.ryancovel.com](http://www.ryancovel.com)
 * Thanks

 * I deleted the following code in the: /atout/framework/template-tags.php
    110c110
 *     ```
       < 		_x( 'Posted on %s', 'post date', 'atout' ),
       ---
       > 		_x( '%s', 'post date', 'atout' ),
       114,118c114,119
       < 	$byline = sprintf(
       < 		_x( 'by %s', 'post author', 'atout' ),
       < 		'<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ) . '">' . esc_html( get_the_author() ) . '</a></span>'
       < 	);
