Like Steve (comment #30) & Trey (#58, #61) I like having dates on all the posts except the one or two sticky posts at the top of the homepage. Dates are very important on my blog, but having a date on the Welcome sticky really hits the visitor with an impression that the blog hasn’t been updated since Abel was in diapers.

The instructions on how to edit the code to be able to select which posts don’t display a date just aren’t clear enough.

Specific instructions, line by line, such as:
Log into your WordPress dashboard
Click on
Then do this
Then do that
…as opposed to First go to Canada, then turn left…
much needed and deeply appreciated.

Please? and Thanks.

2. In your WordPress dashboard, select Plug-ins, Add New…

…and so forth.

Thanks!

“Upload the date-exclusion.php file to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory”

is like giving someone directions to Alaska by saying

“Turn left when you get to Canada.”

I have NO idea how to find my wp-content/plugins directory. I don’t have a clear idea how to upload it to that file if I knew where the destination folder was. I can’t be the only one who needs step-by-step instructions that assume no prior knowledge, start at A and proceed to Z without skipping any steps.

…I’ve been searching everywhere for this
