I like the simplicity of this plugin however, I only gave it 4 stars because I would like it to remove the dates from the blog home page. Or at least give me that option thanks!

Old Post Date Remover does exactly what you expect it to do! We have many posts that are not date-specific — the posts contain information that is helpful regardless of the date, but readers will sometimes think it’s “old info” and may go looking elsewhere. By hiding the post’s date, readers aren’t scared away … and they linger longer on our website. Great job, Ben Meredith!
