Sorry. I didn’t see this question until just now.

1. Yes, the meta data is in the index.php file. You can simply move it further up in that file to make it appear at the top of the post.

2. Each piece of meta data has a different ID or class which you can use to target them with CSS and change the colours to whatever you desire 🙂

Sorry. I didn’t see this support question when you first posted it.

Here is a replacement for the index.php file in the theme, which will remove the main page titles for you. I haven’t tested this, but I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. If you experience any problems, then please let me know and I’ll take a closer look for you 🙂
