Hide the date on Blogger’s comments

This option is not on Blogger’s options, but it can be done through CSS.

  1. Go to the “Layout” tab, also called “Design” from the desktop, and then go to “Edit HTML”. After this, check the “Expand widgets template” box.
  2. Search for the following code:
  3. ]]></b:skin>
  4. And just before write the following:
  5. .comment-timestamp {
    display: none;
    visibility: hiden;
    }
  6. This will hide comment’s date, but will also hide the icon that allow us deleting a comment as blog’s owner. If you want this icon to keep alive, then search for this code:
  7. <dd class='comment-footer'>
    <span class='comment-timestamp'>
    <a expr:href='"#comment-" + data:comment.id' title='comment permalink'>
    <data:comment.timestamp/>
    </a>
    <b:include data='comment' name='commentDeleteIcon'/>
    </span>
    </dd>

    And replace it with the following:

    <dd class='comment-footer'>
    <span class='comment-timestamp'>
    <a expr:href='"#comment-" + data:comment.id' title='comment permalink'>
    <data:comment.timestamp/>
    </a>
    </span>
    <b:include data='comment' name='commentDeleteIcon'/>
    </dd>
  8. Then save and that’s it.
