Add a Last Edited Date to Posts

With frequently changing information it can be useful to record both when a post was created and when it was last updated - showing that it’s been reviewed recently. We do this on this site by showing the created date and showing the last modified date if it’s different from the created date (see above the title). There’s two ways of doing this in Hugo: recording when you last changed it using the last changed date in Git (if you use it) (or a blend of the two)

Print UK Date Format for Post Date

When making this site, we wanted to show the date (above the title) in the British format by putting the day before the month. Controversial, I know. This also means including the date ordinal/suffix after the day, e.g. th, st and nd. If you were writing this format in PHP it would look like this: 1 jS M Y With the ‘S’ standing for: English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters
