 * I want to remove the date on each post – how do I remove the timestamp /Date 
   code in this theme – I viewed the single.php file however I couldn’t find the
   code to delete the date. Please advise – thank you.

 * Hello Carljra,
 * Please do not edit the theme’s files directly as all edits will be lost upon 
   future theme updates.
 * To remove the timestamp/date add the following css code to either a child theme
   or a custom css plugin
 *     ```
       .posted-on {
          display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you also wish to remove the author byline then add the following css code
 *     ```
       .author.byline {
          display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can combine the two like so…
    `.posted-on, .author.byline {display: none;}`
 * Regards,
    Zulf

 * Thanks for the reply on my last request – I have another one 🙂
 * How Can I change the color of the links on the home page – the links to the posts–
   the sidebar links etc.

 * For the links you can add the following CSS code to your child theme
 *     ```
       a,
       entry-title a,
       read-more a {
           color: #d2322d;
       }
       ```
