 * Hi there,
 * I have recently just used my first child theme on this wonderful theme and finding
   it a useful technique.
 * I was just wondering what CSS I can add to remove the whole author, date, category,
   previous / next post area at the bottom of each post.
 * Also I was wondering should this go into the child theme css or the jetpack add
   on.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * this can be easily done by putting the following CSS into your child theme’s 
   style.css:
 *     ```
       .single .post-meta-container {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```

 * Oh, how can I do that for the comments section too, so instead of seeing “comments
   closed” there is nothing?

 * Use:
 *     ```
       .single .nocomments {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * That’ll do the trick … 🙂

 * Was that meant to be the same code there?
 * It’s still showing the commenting area.

 * Yay, thanks again.
 * Also realised I had a few CSS lines in the Jetpack add on, so moved them all 
   to the child theme style sheet and everything seems to be good.
