    You need to edit the theme files to do this. These appear in multiple instances…

    On line 43 of the index.php for example you’ll find this:

    <p class="postinfo">
	<?php if ($altop_posts_author == "true") : ?> <?php echo _e('posted by&nbsp;', 'altop'); the_author(); ?> <?php endif ?>

	<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit', 'altop'), ' &int; ', ' &int; '); ?> <br />
	<?php the_tags(__('Tags:', 'altop') . ' ', ', ', '<br />'); ?>
	<?php printf(__('Filed under: %s', 'altop'), get_the_category_list(', ')); ?>
</p>

    The lines 

    <?php the_tags(__('Tags:', 'altop') . ' ', ', ', '<br />'); ?>
	<?php printf(__('Filed under: %s', 'altop'), get_the_category_list(', ')); ?>

    Display the tags and categories…

    For the date, that’s on line 24

    <span class="postdate_day"><?php the_time(__('jS', 'altop')); ?></span><br />
					<span class="postdate_month"><?php the_time(__('F Y', 'altop')); ?></span><br />

    I would advise against removing the date. Blog posts with no dates are totally useless.

    Hi Christine

    Thank you so much for the info and taking the time to respond. It ended up being a huge user error problem but it sorted itself out.
    One question: why do you feel that a blog without a date is totally useless?
