 * If you check out the main blog. The first post is a sticky post and i have entered
   a piece of code (given to me by someone on here) to remove dates from these. 
   The post entitled skine.art should have the date OCT 05 next to it but has OCT
   04 next to it, the date of the post below.

 * The post dates are actually being generated correctly but your theme’s CSS is
   displaying them on the next post instead of the cirrent post:
 * Try editing style.css and changing:
 *     ```
       h2 {
       border-bottom:1px dotted #CC0000;
       color:#262626;
       font-family:"Trebuchet MS",Tahoma,Arial;
       font-size:190%;
       font-size-adjust:none;
       font-stretch:normal;
       font-style:normal;
       font-variant:normal;
       font-weight:normal;
       letter-spacing:-1px;
       line-height:100%;
       margin:0 0 2px;
       padding-bottom:3px;
       }
       .post-date {
       color:#005100;
       float:right;
       height:10px;
       width:45px;
       }
       .entry {
       float:right;
       width:600px;
       }
       ```

 * Ah yes, that’s done it. Is there anyway to lift the post date up slightly to 
   meet the level of the post title

 * Try adding `margin-top:-10px;` to .post-date.

 * And to lower the title text slightly? (sorry to be a pain in the ….)
