Hi Andreas,

It's a custom template, no? :) So I doubt this method will work out. Anyway, which date label you need to remove - First one or one with link?

Mayura De Silva said...

Hi Shehara,

Did you try the both methods?

sheharadinuwan said...

Yes,but is any other way to remove date in homepage?

Mayura De Silva said...

Then you may wanna try resetting your widget templates mate - How to Reset Your Widget Templates to Default in Blogger :)

Reset and try above methods again. Make sure to back up your template prior to the reset as well.

Shehara Dinuwan said...

I will try this! And I've one question to ask. Is HNB debit cards allow to pay online? I want to purchase a domain.

Mayura De Silva said...

No mate, you have to use a Credit card or a Web card.
