 * You may find this from the Other Notes useful
 * date – Display post’s date next to the title. Default is ‘no’, use date=yes to
   activate it. You can set a css class and an html tag to wrap the date in with
   date_class and date_tag (see HTML & CSS Customization further below).
 * You could try wrapping the date in a class and then use the CSS .classname:before{
   content:’text’;} to display text.
