 * Hi there!
 * On my site, I want to use different date formats in different parts, but the 
   new version of the theme has them all calling on the universal date format in
   the WordPress settings.
 * Can someone let me know how I can change the dates on the standard blog content
   on the front page to a simple M j, Y format?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * You can use a child theme and copy the file post-list-author-date.php into your
   child theme. You have to maintain the same folder structure.
 * child-theme/parts/post-list-author-date.php
 * and make your changes.
 * Thank you.
