[same leo theme anon] hi, so sorry to bother you again but i think misworded my question, sorry english isn't my first language. i was actually wondering if i could change the shortened timestamp to {month} {dayofmonth} format? when i tried to change it, the date moved itself right next to the blog username instead of being on the corner top right. again i'm sorry for the miscommunication, and thank you so much ;;
Hi, it's no bother at all! Also, it's okay no need to apologize for a thing, english isn't my first language either so I know it can get tricky to explain some things (❀ˆᴗˆ)(•́ᴗ•̀✿)
Now, as for changing the date format, you will need to remove the script since it's made to change the timestamps.

Delete both these scripts (you can just (ctrl+f) to search for them in the editor):
<script type="text/javascript" src="//static.tumblr.com/i5s2zks/9Acok8oo2/bct-timeago.min.js"></script>
$(".timeago").timeAgo({
time: "letter",
});
Then, you'll only need to replace the timestamp with the new format tags you want, in the date holder.

Replace the timestamp in the date holder (you can just (ctrl+f) to search for them in the editor):
<a class="timeago" href="{permalink}" title="{timeago}">{timestamp}</a>
Next, since you mentioned the format you wish to use is {month} {dayofmonth}, the code must end like this:
<a class="timeago" href="{permalink}" title="{timeago}">{month} {dayofmonth}</a>
And that's it! You can search (ctrl+f) for the timeago class in the code to further customize the date text, like text casing, color, or font size. But please keep the float property since it keeps the date on the right corner.

Please do let me know if this helped you, and if you happen to need any more help I would be glad to help you (๑ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ๑) (also I did get your previous message, but I'm just going to answer this one for practicality).
