Blosxom Variant

Blosxom 1.1, inserts date headers into text/html output streams. This is convenient in that blosxom knows when a group of entries belongs to the same date and provides a header appropriately (a fairly common blog trope). It's awkward, however, in that even with the span tags that are used it is difficult to get the header to fit a given custom style (especially if you are attempting a non-CSS flavour). This version attempts to solve the problem by creating another template, date.flavour, that works in the same way that head.flavour, story.flavour et. al. work. Note that absent the existence of a date.flavour template, the 1.1 behavior is maintained. Update: (Feb 4, 2003 20:25) Rael Dornfest (the creator of bloxsom) has released Version 1.2 which, among other things, includes the functionality described by this patch. Excellent.
