UPDATED

I’ve written a WordPress plugin that reformats the standard dates and times of posts to meet Associated Press Stylebook rules. That means the months abbreviated correctly, there’s periods between the letters of “am” and “pm,” 12:00 a.m. becomes “midnight,” etc.

It’s a pretty simple piece of code, I just threw in a DVD of “The West Wing” and was done with it by the end of one episode.

It’s also very free and very open to tweaks, additions, etc.

You can check it out on the plugin page here.

UPDATE

Version 1.1

Upon review, I found a mistake in the plugin’s code (stupidness on my part).

While I was in there, I also added the ability to send parameters to the tags so folks can capitalize the words “Today” “Noon” and “Midnight” if they want to, and you can also tell it whether to use “today” for the current date or just the date.

The plugin page and download have been modified to reflect the changes — read about the plugin in detail and download it here.
