<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark'
title='permanent link'><abbr class='published'

  2. Thank you for this helpful tip! Perhaps you can help customize it a little. I only want to hide the post time from my homepage, but have it still show on full post page. Do you know how to do this?

    1. Hello Adam,

      You can customize using conditional tagging to show hide widgets on blogger homepage / post. Come back tomorrow for a tutorial on how to do it.

    1. Hello Adam,

      Please check my post: http://sohonetwork.blogspot.com/2013/07/hide-post-time-stamp-blogger-homepage.html

      Pressed in time, currently the post is made public only for you which is incomplete and requires formatting. The code works on my site I'm using bloggers picture window template. What you need is the post-timestamp section. Hope this helps.

  4. Thanks so much for the help!

    However, it didn't seem to work. Perhaps a look at my blog would make it clearer why this didn't work as well as a suggest a way for a fix?

    1. Hello Adam,

      I checked your site and understood what you need. The solution I posted was for the time stamp, date and author vcard which is shown at the end of the post. I am in a deadline for my official work, I will be able to come out with a solution after 3 days. Please check back on 1 august 2013 IST

    3. Hello Adam,

      Follow the link : http://sohonetwork.blogspot.com/2013/07/hide-post-time-stamp-blogger-homepage.html#post.dateHeader. This edit hides the date stamp above the post title on the homepage but shows on the post page. If you do not want it on the post page then all you have to do is delete the code rather than applying the "if condition". Hope this is what you are looking for
