Great tips and I am thinking whether to integrate on my new blog or not. Thanks
@Tinh – this is just something to spice it up, but is not a must. Let me know if you need help or not.
Displaying the time span of posts is definitively useful and makes a good impression. It tells the visitor the age of your post more easily, better then using a calendar date.
Thanks for providing this useful code snippet/download.
Hey George,
Great Post. I think displaying time span is really great idea. Going to try it on my blog.
