 * Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Your changes **will** be over-written the next
   time you upgrade WordPress. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider
   creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) for your customisations.
   Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

 * a lot of the code, where you want to make changes, is in loop.php, loop-single.
   php, loop-page.php and functions.php.
 * for instance, look for the function ‘twentyten_posted_on()’

 * I removed the “get_the_category()” from loop.php and it removed category from
   home page but category was still showing up on individual post (if you click 
   on post title) Then I removed the function twentyten_posted_in() as esmi said.
   It gave me error on that page and was pointing to “loop-single”…so i removed 
   the function twentyten_posted_in() from loop-single.php as well.
 * Its done. Thanks for wonderful support.
