 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to figure out how to edit my entry-meta data to** only** show the 
   date. Right now it reads “Posted on {date} by {author}” and I would like it to
   only display a non-hyperlinked date.
 * I’m using the Twenty Ten theme.
 * Many thanks.

 * 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) for your customisations.
   Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

 * I’m aware of that, but I would still like to know where exactly in the code to
   make the changes I described…

 * you can edit the `function twentyten_posted_on()` (from functions.php of the 
   parent theme) and add the edited version to functions.php of the child theme.

 * Thanks! Which clause exactly do I delete so it only displays a non-hyperlinked
   date?

 * for example, leave just this:
 *     ```
       function twentyten_posted_on() {
       	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ),
       		'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
       		sprintf( '<span class="entry-date">%1$s</span>',
       			get_the_date()
       		)
       	);
       }
       ```
