It’s up to you to style it with CSS then (although your theme may handle this for you).

1. Upload intermittent_date.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Edit your theme to use the new template tag:

v1.1 2008/11/17

• FIX: Relying on the WP function, the_date, was causing issues. Now pulling the date information from the $post object. Thanks to Erik Mitjans for reporting the bug.

v1 2008/04/18

• Released.
