 * Heelo guys!
 * ive been trying to search all over the forum about this, and tried several of
   the tips given about this, but still havent got it to work..
 * this is what i want:
 * remove:
    March 19th, 2012 Aleksander <- remove this name (not the date, date 
   is fine)
 * this is what i have tried:
 * removed <?php the_author() ?> from single.css and index.css
 * added this to style.css:
 * .entry-meta, .entry-utility {
    display:none; }
 * here is a pstebin.com link to my:
 * single.css file: [http://pastebin.com/HpsSgdAj](http://pastebin.com/HpsSgdAj)
 * index.css file: [http://pastebin.com/Yx9JSzmf](http://pastebin.com/Yx9JSzmf)
 * hope there are some css/wp nerds out there with some other tips to help me get
   rid of the author name from posts 🙂

 * ahh, like everything else in life,
 * you spend hours trying to figure it out alone, and the minute you ask for help,
   you figure it out, so instead of making a post saying ” found out” and not posting
   the solution, here goes
 * the solution is actually in the question i asked, just do what i did.. only thing
   is.. dont try and see if there is a differnce in an editied post, make new ones
   😛
 * embarrassingly easy..

 * Hey Aleks,
 * Try putting this in style.css
 * span.by-author { display:none; visibility: hidden; }
 * Hopefully that will do the trick.

 * actually, the post i made after my initial post, didnt actually resolve my problem,
   now my dropdown menus are gone, and the author is only removed from the front
   page, but not in the categories.

 * benji87, i have to admit, im a novice in css coding. where to put it? (under 
   content?) no other {[]. etc tags ?
 * PS: i have managed to edit index.css to not show date/author on each post in 
   the main page.
 * also, this is how my single.css file looks like atm:
