In WordPress how do I delete "Posted In:News By: Admin" and "Comments" at the bottom of each post?
A Reader Would Like To Know:
I’m using WordPress to build a business website and I want it to look less like a blog and more like a regular site so I don’t want each entry I put in to have that information at the bottom of the entries.
Is there a way to delete that line from the bottom of the posts?

This is done in the template file single.php. In most templates you can remove the entire metadata area by taking out this tag:
<p class="postmetadata alt">
JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN HERE
</p>
What’s inside there is also pretty self explanatory; if you need to remove some things and keep others, then don’t remove the entire <p class="postmetadata alt"></p> section; just the content within it. For instance, in my template, the "by admin" section begins with:
<p class="postmetadata alt">
<small>
This entry was posted
<?php /* This is commented, because it requires a little adjusting sometimes.
You’ll need to download this plugin, and follow the instructions:
http://binarybonsai.com/wordpress/time-since/ */
/* $entry_datetime = abs(strtotime($post->post_date) – (60*120)); echo time_since($entry_datetime); echo ‘ ago’; */ ?>
on <?php the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’) ?> at <?php the_time() ?>
and is filed under <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>.
I would just remove the "This entry was posted…" all the way up to "and is filed under…"
Have a look at your template and give it a shot; it will be similar or the same.
