Set the Date Format
By Jacky Supit • Sep 22nd, 2007 • Category: blogging tips - blogging tricksSome of you who use my template must notice that on some templates, I set the Date Format difference to the Blogger default date format.
For some template which have a special format, because I have just moved this site from blogger to wordpress to give you more better services, Some of my posts have changed.
So if you can’t read my Changing Date Format Instruction, here it is.
1. Go to your Dashboard - Settings - Formatting.
there you’ll see Timestamp format.
2. Choose this style: Friday, September 21, 2007
3. Save your setting. and refresh your blog and done!
Later, I will write the tutorial about how to customize the blogger template format by your self. So you can create your own format you want.
UPDATE: Many people have read this instructions but still meet error, after i checked their site, many of them have mis-set the timestamp. so please see the image below to make sure that you set the right date.

Note:
Looks my googlepages account has exceed it’s bandwith limit, that makes the javascript inaccessible. and of course makes your dateformat won’t show up. to fix this, please host the javascript files on your own file host. please go here to read deeper more about it.

[…] if you still have problem with the Date Format, try to read this guidance here about set the Date Format on blogger. […]

hi jack! i cant seem to get the apple date thingy working on the 3-columns blogger template (http://www.jackbook.com/2007/09/3-columns-blogger-template-clean-converted-from-ftw-wordpress-theme.html)
i already tried “Friday, October 03, 2007″ and “Friday, September 3, 2007″ to no avail .. what’s wrong?
here’s the blog: http://issadsitems.blogspot.com/
hi Issa
that is because you set the wrong date.
instead setting the post time stamp, you set the post date header.
please see the screenshot above on the post.
thanks
Thank for the information…
I just used your nice template here at http://ecommerze.blogspot.com. Fantastics effect and design. I just love it.
I have no problem with the timestamp but there is a problem on how to integrate Haloscan comment code into the template as my previous comments are using Haloscan and I would prefer to retain it. I tried to add the code using the Haloscan’s instruction but it just not working. Do you think there is any other method to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.
if i wasn’t wrong, haloscan has a feature to automatically add their comment code into your template
have you tried it?
Another question: How to put the Label widget above the line at the end of each post instead of being just slightly above the title of the next post.
Thank you.
please read my previous comment on the template post page,
there was someone ask the same question before
thanks
First i must thank you for the gr8 template.
Now the problems -
1)The template loads sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t(Looks really bad).
2)The date thing is not there even though i tried what you told.
3)I want the blogger menu (Which usually comes below the tabs)back.
4)I would like the blogger logo back rather than the current one.
Thanks
Sorry i have posted this in the wrong section..I have now corrected and posted it in the Mushblue template page

Very nice design. Matching with my blog concept (about Indonesian tourism), and matching with my flag country (red-white). Glad hand from Indonesia!
Hi I m using ur theme. It did not showing the date eventhough i have changed my date format
The date of my posts does not appear on my blog. I have done some customization to create 2 sidebars and widened the format for 1000px wide instead of 800px wide. Can you tell me why the date is not showing or how I can fix it?

Thanks!
Thanks for this site. I want no date- they don’t serve any purpose for me and limit what I’m setting out to do. I managed to get rid of dates for entries in my other blogs, but this latest one doesn’t seem to offer me that choice.
thanks so much…im finally got my date shown on my blog…but…i got another question…may i know how to put the date and time at the end at the blog..meaning somewhere beside the comment…??thanks thanks so much=)
still works
