renaming entry dates Options

[sammy6440]

does anyone have the code to rename the entry dates...but not the one thats in the script section...id like the one that you can make your dates like "!jULy_ 3otH_ 20o4_!" or something like that

Just use the "Replace Any Text" script from Xanga Scripts.

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<script type="text/javascript">
//
// ©2004 EasterEgg
//
// For use at Xanga only.
//
// While the date in your blogheader has a fixed format
// (e.g. "Tuesday, March 16, 2004") you may want to use
// another date format, accustomed to *your* preferences.
// This script enables you to apply pretty much any date
// format to your blogheader you like.
//
// Here's how it works:
// The script collects all blogheaders and applies to them
// a format you define by changing the value of the variable
// "dateFormatStr" in the code below. Currently that value is
// set to 'ddd, mm/dd/yy', which will result in a date that
// looks like this: 'Tue, 03/16/04'. If you want to use slashes
// instead of divisions as date separators, go right ahead; you
// can even add HTML to the date format string if you like!:-)
//
// =================
// listing of available constants (using the date
// "Tuesday, March 16, 2004" as an example):
//
// dd = 16
// ddd = Tue
// dddd = Tuesday
//
// mm = 03
// mmm = Mar
// mmmm = March
//
// yy = 04
// yyyy = 2004
//
// =================
//
// You can use any combination of the above constants. Examples:
//
// 'mm/dd/yyyy' will result in '03/16/2004'
// 'mmm dd, yy' will result in 'Mar 16, 04'
// 'mm-dd-yy (dddd)' will result in '03-16-04 (Tuesday)'
// '{ ddd, mmm dd, yyyy }', will result in '{ Tue, Mar 16, 2004 }'
//
// Get the general idea?;-)
//
// Copy this entire code and paste it in the webstats box of your
// Look and Feel page.

// You're free to use this script as long as this comment remains
