blogger date issues and how they are solved. however, either javascript or php is needed. popo.at (which recently had the longest outage ever) is now using a custom php solution inspired by tom burke's posting. instead of e.g. "Montag, Januar 01, 1970" the date format is now in the common german format "Montag, 01. Januar 1970".

<?
setlocale("LC_TIME", "german");
function germanDate($date) {
  return(strftime("%A, %d. %B %Y", strtotime("$date")));
}
echo(germanDate("&lt;$BlogDateHeaderDate$&gt;"))
?>
