Customize Posted by Line in Blogger Posts
If you wish to customize your Post footer in one of Blogger’s default templates, go to Template | Main Template and scroll until you see this code:
<div>
within the <Blogger> and </Blogger> tags. Anything between it and the closing </div> tag is the footer.
The first part (the “#”) is called the permalink; this is code that generates it:
The text inside the quotation marks generates the link, <$BlogItemPermalinkURL$> being the link to that specific post on the archive page.
The # sign at the end, just before the </a>, is the link text (feel free to change it to whatever you wish, including another template tag, <$BlogItemDateTime$> for example).
The second part, “posted by etc.” is generated by this text, and can be modified as you wish:
Hey, you can also display a permalink as the following manner:
<a href="<$BlogItemArchiveFileName$>#<$BlogItemNumber$>" title="permanent link">#</a>
