Please show your date!

[ses5909]

Is there anyone here who doesn't show their date on their posts? I was just reading a blog and was wondering when the post was written and I could only guess because the date on the comments.

I agree with you 100%. I don't like blogs much that don't have dates. It confuses me!

[Jelena]

Same here. I like to know when it was published, especially when it is something that depends on a time factor.

Yeah I like dates and I use dates. I'd say someone that doesn't use dates is only trying to hide the fact that their blog is updated like once a month. :)

[ses5909]

Well this blog is updated sometimes multiple times a day I found out after further research. So who knows! Maybe they just didn't think about it :S

[adalante]

Yea, i agree, dates are very important

[goldfries]

i've not come by any blog with no dates.

:D may i hasz teh linkz pleez?

I find it annoying sometimes when blogs have a heading for the date, and include multiple posts that same day after the heading.

A few times I've found myself wondering when something was posted, looking for the date, and not finding it -- only to later discover that it was three posts up.

Not a major issue, I guess.

I like the date on the post. I don't like knowing if I'm commenting on and old post or not.

It depends. Is the content time-dependant, or is it an article? If it's an article, I'd leave the date off. If it's just me blogging about how much the laetst movie sucked worse than that one time... then I"ll include the date.

The site I am referring to is:

emomsathome.com

and I really like the site and the contend is good, i just can't find a date. Maybe I'm blind!

My take on some bloggers is that they just don't know what is 'in' for blogging right now. They took them off for a reason, one we don't know and they don't realize that most bloggers like them left on. If they are updating all the time it is odd they would remove them. I imagine they think people might not want to read older articles?

I think if you hover over the blog title you can see the date it was posted but that is a pain!

[ses5909]

I didn't even think about checking to see if they had a permalink structure. Smart girl! But still, definitely a pita.

Sometimes when I stumbled upon a blog post, it's important to have date stated there so that I know if I should comment or not because who knows the entry was posted 1 year ago?
