I'm playing with following Rachel Cunliffe's trend of the moment and formatting the post date on these weblog items as a calendar page. This is all done with Tinderbox templates and (fairly simple) standard markup.
In the old template, we had a simple date tag:
22 Jan 2008
All we do now is add a little extra markup to pull out the separate field:
n class="month">^ get(Date,"M y")
22
The actual formatting is handled in CSS, and I'm not entirely happy with the details. But it's not really very difficult, it's a change from the conventional format, and perhaps it saves some space.
