Thanks esmi. I know http, not much css (yet). Searching all transblack theme files, I see “the_date” only once, and that’s in archives.php

I changed d-m-y to m-d-y, but it makes no difference; posts still show (for example) 03-09-2010 when I want them to read September 3, 2010.

Any suggestions for the css-impaired?

Thanks again.

Good guess, it works!

Any reason not to follow the title with a bunch of html spaces to move the browser name to the right?

Many thanks!

Best,
John

Sorry about that, Voodoo.

Sounds like a good fix–but though I can hard-code html, I’m lost with css and when I try to stick this in the header file (where the title and description are called), it’s a total mess. Can you tell me exactly where to place this code?

Site is: https://fitstormblog.com/

Thanks for your help!

Hi greatdanemaniac. Thanks–but for the uninitiated, not so easy. The #site-title string does not appear in style.css or header.php. In many instances where “display” does appear in header.php, it already says “none.”

I’ll attempt to paste the entire, original style.css below. (Sorry if it runs long.) Thanks for the help!

Here we go…
