Very simple requests:

on the free Mercury Theme

I simply want the “username” remove from “status, posts etc” (front/main page) … reply’s username is ok …

Here is the screenshot as right now

and this screenshot is what I am aiming for

Thank you

Where can I modify this “TDoGChad. Whatcha up to?”

Thank you again

p.s. what is permalink exactly do ?
I looked up and it said … Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to link to your article (or section), or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. The URL to each post should be permanent, and never change — hence permalink.

Is it like a “simple and direct” shortcut? … that’s it, isn’t it ?

If I want to remove it then how can that be done ?

Thank you very much.

Need to see your actual site to be able to help with CSS to hide those elements. Probably why no one has replied – when you don’t include a link to your site, it’s MUCH harder to offer any help.

Permalinks are simply site URL’s – what do you mean you want to remove them?

Wow !!! … thank you for a wonderful reply … and thank you again for explaining what I go wrong in here … sure thing, Yogi, http://www.tdog.us/blog … I just find my username ANNOYing in every single (testing) posts, status etc … I have learned my mistake that I did not leave URL in here … Sorry and thank you.

Dont worry about the permalinks … I finally understood what it is now … it took me awhile to get a good grasp of it … now I like permalink … I thought it was LOCK UP my link and unable to delete … LOL

No problems – try adding this to a custom CSS section of your theme – or if it doesn’t have that, use a custom CSS plugin – and add this CSS there:
```
#postlist h4 a {
    display: none !important
}
```

But that’s going to remove everyone’s name. If it’s that you don’t like your user name, you can make a new one.

I right clicked the ICON next to username to get image url … and where am I suppose to go to change that into my own avatar instead of using 1.gravatar.com/avatar(long url) … I can read basic codes html, css and php but so hard to find where it coming from … I think, it’s called “hierarchy design” threw me off … I even tried F12 and firebug does not support chrome (wouldn’t let me install it) … … I am 45 years old now, I used to do webdesigns in 1997 till 1999 … so many web languages kept on pouring in … I couldn’t catch up on my self-teaching … few weeks ago, I just started relearn PHP and ugh … MySQL is outdated that I just found out last week … so now it’s MySQLi … Where have I been ? HAHAHA

I think I just found the “avatar” next to postlist … thank you and it got me started looking harder and exploring deeper.

#main ul#postlist li,
#main #postlist .commentlist li.bypostauthor,
#main ul#postlist ul.commentlist li {
border-top: 0 none;
padding: 20px 0 0 0;
}

is that it li.bypostauthor ?

I placed this at the bottom of Mercury: Stylesheet (style.css)

#postlist h4 a {
display: none !important
}

…

it works … looks so much better … thank you …

now I am trying to understand how is that works ?
