Easy Steps to remove "Read More" , Published by author - Drupal 6

One of the ticket raised in Drupal community was, how to remove the "Read More" link & "Published by Author" with date for a story / page while listing the stories in the website. I just digged the code for exactly 1 min and found an easy solution. Drupal 6 is as good as you think good. But really speaking its really damn good. I went to the garland folder present in the themes folder. I just removed the below two blocks and saved the node.tpl.php file.


<?php if ($submitted): ?>
<span class="submitted"><?php print $submitted; ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>


<?php if ($links): ?>
<div class="links"><?php print $links; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>


I definitely hope that this might have solve his issue who has raised it in Drupal Themes community. If you feel any issues, please let me know I will try to help as much as possible.
