Do you know what day it is?

Thomas Burg cites a post by Simon Willison:

By removing the day headers entirely, I hope to shift the focus of this blog from religious daily updates to entries with a little more substance. I think the psychology of a blog's design is easily under-rated; I've already noticed that my blog entries have been getting longer since I started adding entry titles. At any rate, with this latest design tweak I certainly won't be rushing out poor quality entries before midnight any more.

For those same reasons I deleted the day headers from my template when I switched to Moveable Type a few weeks ago. I'd rather have my readers turn away from a posting because they think it's not worth reading, than because the day header says it's already yesterdays news.
