Most themes give each post a unique ID, so you could use that to hide the byline on that post. For example, in the Thesis theme the CSS might be <code>#post-1081 .headline_meta {display:none;}</code>. Rosie — I think the easiest way would be to hide it with CSS.

When I make a post sticky, I sometimes won’t want either a title (i.e. subject) or the line underneath it that displays: “by AuthorName on May 5, 2010[edit]:”.

In other words, I’m treating the sticky post as a sort of a note pushed to the top.

Not entering a title is simple enough, but is there any way to get rid of the author/date line *ONLY* for specific posts?

TIA

It definitely works in Thesis. I have it on <a href="http://testing.nfshost.com/" rel="nofollow">my test blog</a> at the moment. You need to create the home page, the posts page, set them both in the WordPress Reading settings and then you should add the posts page to the Thesis nav menu in the options page, but not the home page, because that will become the normal home page that is already in the nav menu.

I can't seem to get my site to make the change. Actually, I was able to make the home page static. But when I click on the link to my posts page, it takes me to my new static home page. Any ideas?Thank you. Nat Hi Kristarella,
