 * In functions.php around line 442, change this:
 *     ```
       function twentyten_posted_on() {
       	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
       		'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
       ```
   
 * to this:
 *     ```
       function twentyten_posted_on() {
       	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ),
       		'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
       ```
