Remove "written by" in author metadata

Hey everyone,

My site publishes work from both artists and writers. I'd like to be able to use the author metadata capabilities so that a reader can view all the work by a particular contributor. The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out how to remove the "Written by" text before an author's name on a blog post in 7.1. Does anyone have any css tips and tricks that might be able to help me out?

Thank you!!!

Can you share link to blog post & which plan do you use?

The site isn't published yet, but you can visit badlandszine.com, enter the password at the lockscreen and click on any of the posts inside. I'll dm you the password. I'm on the business plan.

Add to Home > Design > Custom CSS

.blog-meta-item.blog-meta-item--author.p-author.author {
    visibility: hidden;
}
a.blog-author-name {
    visibility: visible;
}

YOU ARE AN ANGEL! That removed the "written by."

Any tips on how to now center the Author's name? I figure I could probably just inject a return in front of it?

Fixed it with this:

a.blog-author-name {  
            display: block; 
            white-space: pre; 
        } 

Thank you so much!

I want to replace the words "written by" with "reviewed by" on the blog post. Could you clarify the CSS required to achieve this.

Have you ever received an answer to this? I also want to replace "written by" with something else.

I used this code and it removed the "written by" text but now there's a huge space there. Does anyone know how to not only remove the "written by" text but also the space where it used to be? PS: I'd also love to know how to make the year display in the date metadata in blog items/posts (it displays on the blog front page but not in actual posts)
