rss_posted

Based on an idea from one of my favorite textpatterners I put together an alternative to the standard <txp:posted/> tag. The major addition is that each part of the date (year, month and day) will be hyperlinked.

This can be used to link to an archive or other page that supports filtering by date. Coincidentally, this can be done using the latest version (0.14) of the rss_suparchive and you can see this in use on the posted dates on this site.
