Oops... Nope dear :) I must have given you the exact title there. On the above mentioned post, refer "Add/Remove Basic Post Footer Options" dear. Remove options except for # of Comments option. Got it? :)
If you have questions related to Customization, I appreciate posting your questions on that post dear :)
Cheers...

You're welcome Diones :) Glad to know it's been helpful.

This is fantastic! It may be too far down the road to ask you this, but is it possible to hide the post footer on all but the first post on the homepage? You can take a look at my blog, www.lostlittlelutheran.com, and realize my error. Since I'm using the "read more", having the share widget I've got seems strange where it is.
Thanks!
Hi Matthew,
Thanks mate :)
Unfortunately, the changes being applied for every post on the homepage and Blogger doesn't support specifying changes only for a specific post on homepage Matthew.
How about getting rid of post footers altogether and adding comment links manually? You can refer to these posts if you would like to ~ How to Display Post Author, Date / Time and Labels Below Post Title in Blogger and How to Display a Comment Link with Post Title in Blogger.
Hope it will be helpful :)
Cheers...
Oh… that's a good idea! I'll look into that. Thank you! I appreciate the how to's. =D
You're welcome Matthew :) Always glad to help as I can! Appreciate your compliment too mate.

Thanks :D
