Blog posts - hide text box, make full length, hide tags

A couple of questions about the blog page - I'd like to make it more streamlined. Could you help with a few questions?

1. I'd like to remove the text block at the top (author, date, tags, comments)
2. I would rather the blog post be full length rather than just an excerpt
3. Remove tags at bottom

See image for reference.

Thanks!

 

Hello,

For this
Go to the Appearance > Editor > Blog.php
and replace code as shown in the image with the code given below.

Code:

 <?php the_content(); ?>

 

I'm sorry - It didn't seem to work. Apologies for being a newbie at this.

Here is the script I edited as per instructions. Any idea why it wouldn't be working?

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Page
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!--Start Content Wrapper-->
<div class="grid_24 content_wrapper">
<div class="grid_16 alpha">
<?php
$limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $paged);
$wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
?>
<!--Start Content-->
<div class="content">
<?php //if (function_exists('inkthemes_breadcrumbs')) inkthemes_breadcrumbs(); ?>
<!-- Start the Loop. -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<!--Start Post-->
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h1 class="post_title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<!--End Post-->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<!--End Loop-->
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<nav id="nav-single"> <span class="nav-previous">
<?php next_posts_link( __( '&larr; Older posts', 'cloriato' ) ); ?>
</span> <span class="nav-next">
<?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts &rarr;', 'cloriato' ) ); ?>
</span> </nav>
</div>
<!--End Content-->
</div>
<!--Start Sidebar-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<!--End Sidebar-->
</div>
<!--End Content Wrapper-->
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<!--End Container-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
