You need to create different CSS and change the format your theme uses to display the date.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time
you need to edit the function twentyten_posted_on()
in functions.php of Twenty Ten;
which you seem to have done already;
break the single get_the_date() into get_the_date('M') and get_the_date('d') or get_the_date('j')
for details, please post the code as you have it now.
Hi,
So I managed to change the date format but still can’t “Oct” and “24” on 2 separate lines. Here is my functions.php code. Any ideas on how to do this??

your posted code was corrupted by getting posted without being marked with the code buttons;
also it is recommended to use the http://pastebin.com/ for larger amounts of code.

My apologies! Here is the URL for the code in pastebin. Hopefully that works.

example (relevant section only; unnecessary code removed):
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s"></span> %2$s ', 'twentyten' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"></a><span class="entry-date">%3$s<br />%4$s</span>',
get_permalink(),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
'<span class="entry-date-month">'.get_the_date('M').'</span>',
'<span class="entry-date-day">'.get_the_date('d').'</span>'
)
);
}
as you can see, in this section, the date is output in two bits, separated by a linebreak:
<span class="entry-date">%3$s<br />%4$s</span>
and the two bits are generated here:
'<span class="entry-date-month">'.get_the_date('M').'</span>',
'<span class="entry-date-day">'.get_the_date('d').'</span>'
these two lines was just this before:
get_the_date()

Thanks! That worked beautifully.
