I am using the Lanyon theme on my micro.blog hosted photo-blog. I noticed that the Published Date was showing up on my about page. Here is how I managed to hide it using some JavaScript.

<script type="text/javascript">
var isAboutPage = /\/about\/$/i.test(window.location.href);
if (isAboutPage) {
  var x = document.getElementsByClassName("post-date");
  if (x) {
    x[0].remove();
  }
}
</script>

I added the script to the layouts/partials/default_foot.html file, just before the closing </body> tag.

This is a result of me playing around with Custom JavaScript on my write.as sites. I was able to carry over what I learned here and use it to fix something on another website. One of the best benefits of maintaining a personal website, is brushing up on your HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills.
