Styling Post metadata

[westerdaled]

Hi

I have noticed a lot of bloggers style their post meta data such post date which appear in coloured box to the left of the post - Metro will look really good with this I think. Now I am sure I have seen post on this in the old forum unless this has been updated here.

Any pointers please

Here's the code to customize the post info http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/post-info/

Post meta relates to the category and tagged links after post content.,

Hi brad,

Thanks for that as the post made things a lot clearer .. I have done a bit of futher research and I think I need to have descendant classes to style the day, month and year... so starting with this

.post-info {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0 5px;
}
.post-info .day, .post-info .month {
	font-size: 10px;
}
.post-info .year {
	font-size: 8px;
}

Hi @braddalton on a similar note - how do you get the date "updated" on your blog?

This is the code i used Lisa.

It uses the new Genesis 2.0 HTML 5 loop hooks.

Thanks Brad,

Uh oh, I had not planned on updating my theme to HTML5.

I'll have to translate to the old hooks. Or fiddle around on a dev site and put into action in November after my members session is finished.
