A while back, Posterous introduced the self-promotion bar at the bottom of all blogs. This bar shows to all visitors who aren't logged into Posterous and it looks like this:

Many users find this bar annoying, and while all of my new themes hide this bar by default, most themes still show this bar. So here's what you need to do to hide the bar on your own site:

  • Login to Posterous and click the Spaces button in the navigation
  • Click the Settings wheel to the right of the desired space
  • Choose the Customize option
  • Click the Advanced tab
  • If you haven't enabled advanced editing, do so now and give your theme a name
  • Now you're going to want to Expand the code so you can see what you're working with. Click Expand on the right side.
  • Add the following directly under <head>:


<style type="text/css">
#posterous_footerbar {
    display:none !important;
    visibility:hidden !important;
}
</style>


Once you've added this, you can click Save, I'm done in the bottom right. Next time you're logged out, you should notice the bar no longer appears. Victory!
