I want to change the DATE format in my blog headings (both index and individual entries). I figured out which files need to be changed, and I found the date codes. But, no matter what combination I try, the date is still all numeric. I want May to read "May", and not "05". I want the day of the week in the date heading. Instead of "05/08/07", I want my date in military style, "Wed, 08 May 2007". Can anyone show me how to do that? Feel free to e-mail. Thanks.

It all depends on what "minimalism" means to you. In my case it means not seeing what's not relevant. Not "not having" it. For some people minimalism means also stripping functionality, to me it means not seeing it until needed. "Disabling plugins" is a too-broad statement. There are plugins out there that actually help make the pages more minimalistic in nature. It's like getting furniture with clever hideaway sections. Minimalism doesn't mean sacrificing features, it may just mean not burdening the user with them unless he wants them. I like a different approach. It all depends on what “minimalism” means to you.

The theme allowed for different backgrounds or wallpapers behind the blog. you could choose which one you wanted but many visitors didn't see that, and it wasn't even labeled at all. So I just deleted all the background images I didn't want and presto! A bran new theme, static theme. No more dynamic background for me. :) I just did that with my theme.
