Hide "Created by" via CSS doesn't work (CSS selector is missing)

Question

Hi there,

I would like to hide "Created by [author name]" in the blog posts overview (Blog Posts macro). For the author name I have found the CSS selector. But I cannot find a CSS selector for the "Created by". It's part of the span element "blog title". If I hide that via CSS the blog title is gone, too.

How can I hide "Created by" without hiding the blog title?

Yes, they got lazy and didn't give us anyway to select that content. The only way I can think of requires surgery -- editing the layouts (found in the admin macro) to close the earlier span element, and open a new classed span element for "Created by". I took a quick look on my local version (6.13), and you will have to start at the layouts, then find which of the referenced velocity macros renders a blog post and edit that code.

Hi Bill, sure. Here is an example. I translated our German text elements into English for a better understanding:

Could you paste the HTML of that element (including parent elements)? There may be another way to select that text.
