  I’m using the Unsleepable theme by Ben Gray. I have the CSS update and can change the styles, but where is wordpress getting this date format from that posts right next to my title post/

  “16nov09”

  It’s so horrible how do I change that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In most themes here the date format is controlled from the date format setting under settings > general.

  @TSP
  I tried changing the date format there in my test blog. The coding in the theme prevailed – no cigar!

  It depends on the theme. Some pull from the settings > general stuff and some are set in the underlying theme files.

  yes, like with timethief, the coding in the theme prevailed when I changed the time in settings > general (there isn’t even a 16nov09 in those options)

  if it is pulling from the underlying theme files, thats not something i have access to in the CSS … that’s just styling …

  maybe i should just make the damn thing invisible. its just so hideous
