How To Hide Or Remove Author Name

Everyone has different style in the way they do blogging. An identity like name for some people isn't a case sensitive, but for others for some reasons authors of a blog consider that hiding name is needed to protect their privacy.

Option A.

By default Blogger / Blogspot platform offers options for some shy bloggers to not display their names.

This option is pretty easy to do. Below is the screenshot of options you can do to customize the display of  your blog with or without your name / ID embedded to your posts section.

From Dashboard page, click Layout, and you will see this;

then click edit. Next select your choice. 

and save.

Option B. 

From what I read on most blogger tutorials. Their suggestion is by deleting these code.

<span class='post-author vcard'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showAuthor'>
<data:top.authorLabel/>
<span class='fn'><data:post.author/></span>
</b:if>
</span>   

Note: The two above options didn't work with mine. At least for the template I am using for this blog. So, I tried the below step (Option C.) and it worked.

Option C.

Go to Dashboard ---> Template ---> Edit HTMl ---> Expand Templates Widgets  and find these codes:

Then I delete the codes (as shown in the above orange box marking) :

Note: 

• The last options Option B & C are meant to delete blog's author name permanently, otherwise you put the deleted codes back to your template at a later time.
• Different template has different structure depends on the designers taste when creating the template. So one step to customize something on the blogger template not always works on others. 3 above options can be your references when going to just hide or delete author name.
