Bueno theme – why does the year not show?

    Hi – I just changed to the Bueno theme which is kind of fun – I particularly like the circular date stamp on each post. But it only shows the day and month, not the year. Is there any way to change that, so that – at least – older posts show the correct year? Or if not, what’s the best way of showing the full date of a post?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The year isn’t included in the underlying code so there’s nothing you can do to have it display there automatically. You could include the year in the main body of the post and use inline CSS (no need to pay for the upgrade) to move it into the circular date stamp. Here’s some example code you’d need to add into the HTML editor for each post that you want to display the year:

    <div style="position:absolute;left:-40px;top:30px;width:71px;text-align:center;color:#fff;">2010</div>

    If you have the CSS upgrade you can make it look a little neater. If you go down this route you’ll still need to add some HTML containing the year into each post as shown below, you can then style it and modify the day and month too so they fit together better.

    <div class="year">2010</div>

    .post .year {position:absolute; left:-40px; top:70px; width:71px; text-align:center; font-size:14px; color:#fff;}
.post .date .day {font-size:1.6em; margin-top:-10px;}
.post .date .month {margin-top:-5px;}
