Post status : incomplete
How to hide post date, time stamp and author from blogger home page only.
This can be done using conditional tags to
<span class='post-author vcard'>
<span class='post-timestamp'>
<span><data:post.dateHeader/></span>
Conditional tag syntax
<b:if cond='PUT_CONDITION_HERE'>
</b:if>
It is made up of a <b:if> tag, with a cond attribute added. Condition is entered as the value of the cond attribute. Each (opening) <b:if> tag need to be closed with a closing </b:if> tag.
The below conditional tag is specific to homepage. I only list the opening tags here. Just make sure you include the closing </b:if> tag when applying a conditional in your template. (More list of conditional tags -- todo)
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
Applying conditional tag
To apply a conditional tag to a content, simply put the content between the opening <b:if cond…> and the closing </b:if>, like so:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
CONTENT (TO BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS TRUE)
</b:if>
In the example above, the content will only appear on post pages.
If you want to specify a alternate content (when the condition is false), you need to insert a <b:else/> tag followed by the content, like this:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
CONTENT 1 (TO BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS TRUE)
<b:else/>
CONTENT 2 (TO BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS FALSE)
</b:if>
You can place the conditional anywhere in your template HTML, except inside a section or inside a widget content box. The content can be a div, a section, a style tag, another conditional tag etc.
Reversing a condition
A condition can be reversed simply by replacing the comparison operator from == (is equal to) to != (is not equal to), like so:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
CONTENT (TO BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS TRUE)
</b:if>
In the example above, the content will only appear on pages other than post pages (i.e. removed/hidden from post pages). This method is not applicable to Label-search and First Post conditionals.
