If you are not much familiar with the term "Post Date Header", here's you can find what it is. The below screenshot identifies date header and you can find it above your post titles.


By default, Blogger doesn't show date with each of your posts. It will list your posts according to published date and if you have published more than one post on a day, all of that posts will listed under one date header. Anyway, if you wish to display date with each individual post, we have discussed it earlier in another tutorial and even you can remove post date header if you need to.
