How to remove "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)"

October 30, 2008

If you want to completely remove (or temporarily hide) "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)", read on.

Ok. Luckily, removing this is quite easy. I hope you know what is it...the Atom thing. It's an easy way for your readers to subscribe to your Blog posts. It's really the same thing like you can see in 90% of blogs, but under the name of RSS (Really Simple Sindication).
Anyway, it's good to have a subscription option, but Feedburner will help you with creating the best one.
1. Hiding
To hide it, you just have to insert one part of the code (CSS style in fact..). Go to:
DASHBOARD -- LAYOUT -- EDIT HTML, and find insert the part in orange, ABOVE the part in green:

.feed-links { display:none; }

]]></b:skin> </head>

2. Removing (deleting)
Before you do anything, back-up your template. Just in case. Then go to:

DASHBOARD -- LAYOUT -- EDIT HTML -- hit EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES
then CTRL + F (Option +F) to find the following line of code:

<b:include name='feedLinks'/>

You have to delete that line. Save the template. View blog. And...smile!
