 * So this is a question I know get’s asked a lot:
 * I’m using WordPress 3.4.1, my base theme is 2011.
    This is my first website ever,
   my first time doing any coding or programming ever, and I’ve only been at it 
   a few days. So I need a very basic, very easy way to remove the date and time
   from my posts, as well as the “posted in” thing at the end of the post. I’ve 
   looked at a couple of different resources and none seem to be helping. They either
   don’t work at all, don’t apply to the CSS files for 2011, or (in one case) totally
   destroy the .php files, leaving me to panic as my website slowly bleeds out in
   front of me. So, what’s the way to do this, simply, in the 2011 theme?
 * Thanks, all! 🙂

 * work with a child theme of Twenty Eleven; [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * edit content.php;
 * remove:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
       			<div class="entry-meta">
       				<?php twentyeleven_posted_on(); ?>
       			</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
       			<?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * remove this whole section:
 *     ```
       <footer class="entry-meta">
       			<?php $show_sep = false; ?>
       ...
       ...
       ...class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
       		</footer><!-- #entry-meta -->
       ```
   
 * do the same in content-single.php
