Hi Richard,

The posts_loop_template.phpfile is in the plugin directory. In most WordPress installs this would be at:

mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/posts-in-page/posts_loop_template.php

When you open it up, you'll see:

<!-- Note: if you make changes to this file, move it to your current theme's
	directory so this file won't be overwritten when the plugin is upgraded. -->

<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
	<!-- This is the output of the post title -->
	<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	<!-- This is the output of the excerpt -->
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>

	<!-- This is the output of the meta information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->

To remove the posted by and tagged lines, you may want to remove all of the meta information (this includes categories as well).

If you want to remove all of the meta information, you'll want to remove the following lines:

<!-- This is the output of the meta information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>

If you only want to take out the tags, for instance, you could just remove:

<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>

I hope that helps.
Eric
