 * This is an absolutely fantastic theme!
 * How do I change the date format on the main page to remove the comma between 
   the month and year? The front page does not seem to abide by the Settings -> 
   General format.
 * Thank you!

 * You can do this by creating [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme)
 * and then copy content.php in to child theme you created..
    go to line 22 where
   it says `<p class="post-date"><?php the_time('j M, Y'); ?></p>` change to `<p
   class="post-date"><?php the_time('j M Y'); ?></p>`

 * Or use this to use the admin panel format:
 *     ```
       <?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?>
       ```
   
 * The reason it’s only used in single.php currently is because the date may push
   things down to another line, if the month is written out in full rather than 
   just 3 letters.
 * Pretty tight with space on some places to keep it on one line.
 * Thanks by the way.
