  1. its nice tutorial dear, but what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this, i think some user search on google on latest post basis so if someone remove the post data and time, there is not way to tell google that we have posted blog post today or year ago.
    so i dont recommend doing above trick on blogs. what do u say on this. plz share

    I don't need date archieving on sidebar, just post titles.. but you can see post titles are shown under date on the sidebar.

    so I had brought in an outside template and even though everything was checked in the layout panel (under option 2 here), I could not get the date stamp back in. Thanks for the code!

  9. Anonymous says:

    Thanks for covering this. Unfortunately my layout HTML looks different:

    default="$(body.text.color)" value="$(body.text.color)"/>
    default="transparent" value="transparent"/>

    Do you know how I would manipulate this to not show the date header?

    Thanks,
    Blanco

  10. Movie lovers says:

    simple question, is it ok if i change dateheader code with another javascript date. i mean, i want to get the date always updated to today.
