A Date Stamp In Wordpress

A date stamp on your WordPress blog displays the month, day and year of the information that you publish on your post. Some of the themes that make up your pages automatically include this stamp, but others do not. Even if they do include it, the format of the dates on your particular theme may not be to your liking. Fortunately, you have the option to use a plugin to install the date feature. Use the tools in your WordPress account to add the date stamp that you want on your pages.


Instructions


1. Log in to your WordPress account and click the "Add New" link under the "Plugins" heading.


2. Type "date" in the search field and then click the "Search Plugins" button. A list of relevant options appear on the page.


3. Read through the plugin descriptions to find the one that you want to use. Some features display the date that you publish your blog entries, while others format your date stamps to Associated Press (AP) style. Click the "Install Now" link next to your plugin choice.


4. Click the "OK" button in the dialog window that appears to confirm the installation and then click the "Activate Plugin" link that displays. Your date stamp is now on your WordPress site.
