It’s really okay. I wrote these scripts a long time back, and I was a little big on attribution back then. Now, since I’m no longer with Blogger, these are almost give-aways :) Thanks though.

Hey, Aditya! I realize it’s been awhile since you posted this hack, but I just came across it, and I was searching high and low for something like this before I found your elegant script. Thank you!! I did want to let you know, too, that the last line of the javascript somehow got cut off. I believe it should be: document.write(day+mon+year); } And the CSS section is missing the final ‘}’ Anyway, just wanted to let you know so you could hopefully edit it and save future users some time. Didn’t take me too long to figure it out, but I thought it’d be helpful to let you know. Again, thank you so much for this wonderful hack!! I hated the thought of having to stick with the boring single line format. I found a couple other hacks, but they were more complicated, and didn’t provide any way to include the year! I really thought I was going to have to give up, before I came across yours. So THANK YOU!! :) -Joneen (P.S. I’m still formatting my blog, so if you view the source code, you’ll see I’ve credited you there, but when I get to formatting the footer of my page, I’ll be giving you mention there as well. This script is just too wonderful to pass up, so I’m thrilled to give you props! Just wanted to let you know so you if you looked at my page only and not the code, you wouldn’t think I was trying to take credit myself.)

To implement that, you’ll have to firstly name your images according to the date element. So days will be 01.png, 02.png, 03.png and so on. Months will be January.png, February.png, and years will be 2007.png, 2008.png … it’s a lot of work, I know. There is another way, but I’m not sure if it’s any faster.

So, once you have the images in place, modify your document.write to output image tags with the source set to:

“URL–to–web–folder\”+da[i]+“.png”

where ‘i’ goes from 0–3, in the order you want the date elements to show. So for the day, and using my Googlepages account, the URL string should be:

“http://aditya.vm.googlepages.com/”+da[i]+“.png”

Hope I’m clear enough :)⌘

It's the second last option in the list of date formats. And don't change the code to that, unless you want the month to show up before the day :P⌘

ok i missed it the formatting part. But i have not found the format you specified here. That is january 23 2006. All of them has at least one comma. The one that doesnt have any comma has the date first. So I changed the document.write a bit. I placed '+month[mon]+' after '+day+' But still not getting anything. :(⌘

@Deepak: Sheesh! That 'is' a noodle! I can tell you 'why' it's happening, but it'll take some looking into to figure out how to fix it.⌘

I'll look into it soon! I'm at home right now, so busy with friends and relatives! :P But I'll definitely look into it! Thanks for the headsup.⌘

@cyberbuff: I don't see the code anywhere in your page. You'll need to put it in, and then I'll have a look. But what do you mean by a -'. -?⌘

Are you sure you've fixed the date format in your settings tab? Change it to show dates as 'January 23 2006' (with the spaces, no commas). See if you missed that...⌘
