  I just need date to appear on blogs like Jun 8, like simple . And not the year and time of posting.
  I am using the sorbet theme. Can i change or should i like for a different theme.
  Came across a blog theme, the bueno but its no longer available.

  Themes are retired when they no longer support all WordPress.COM features. Retired themes like Bueno cannot be used on blogs they were not used on prior to retirement.

  The date cannot be removed form the URL for posts as it is embedded into them. It can be removed for the position it appears on the blog though. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.

  Then see:

  After purchasing the upgrade please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  It’s not usually possible to hide just the year with CSS, since the date and year are contained in the same HTML element.

  For example, in Sorbet, the HTML code looks like this:

  <time class="entry-date" datetime="2015-06-09T08:09:11+00:00">June 9, 2015</time>

  You could hide the whole date, but not just the year.

  For time of posting, not many themes display the time.
