 * Hello Afsori.
 * Should be an easy fix. Update your CSS to…
 * `.entry-meta .meta-sep, .entry-meta .author { display: none; }`
    _ [added code

 * Cheers.

 * Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten
   when the theme is updated.
 * An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the [Jetpack plugin](http://jetpack.me/)
   and activate the [Custom CSS](http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/) module. 
   You’ll then add the new CSS lorbach provided in the new stylesheet editor that’ll
   show up in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
 * As alternatives, you could either install a [standalone custom CSS plugin,](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   or create a [child theme.](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

 * I was using the following code to hide author info on main and post pages in 
   Sorbet:
 *     ```
       .byline {
         display: none;
       }
   
       .single .byline,
       .group-blog .byline {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * However, author info still showed on mobile (iPhone) version. So, now I’m just
   hiding all entry-meta data with:
 *     ```
       .entry-meta {
         display: none;
       }
       ```

 * I have a photoblog and entry meta not so necessary for my type of content.
 * You should make changes in CSS plug-in as mentioned above.
