How to hide the Article Author in Joomla 3.0

By default, the author of an article will be shown on the page in Joomla 3.0. You can disable this feature in Joomla 3.0 by toggling the Show Author setting. Joomla 3.0 gives the following description for this setting:

Show Author
If set to Show, the Name of the article's Author will be displayed.  This is a global setting but can be changed at the Category, Menu and Article levels.

Please note!
This setting does not affect articles when they're viewed individually. Instead, the change only affects category pages that show collections of articles that belong to the category.

You can see in the screenshots below how the Show Author setting actually affects a page:

Show Author: Hide	Show Author: Show
