How can I display the HTML code for my WordPress?

ther is no place where the fimnal html files are stored.

the html pages are created dynamically; content is stored in the database, while the structure is build by php code within the html structure of the template files of your theme.

define what you need to edit, and try to locate the template where it gets generated.

One of the first tings I was planning on editing was to get rid of the author on some pages. How could I go about doing this?

depends on te theme you are using – could be in index.php, single.php, or loop.php or….

also, depends on the definition of ‘some pages’.

please post a link to your site amd the name of your theme for more suggestions.

The theme name is Arras.
