That worked great, thanks!

Hey

Do you have a simpler and shorter update to your code?

I just received the following question for this article:
http://easywebdesigntutorials.com/customizing-comments-section-in-wordpress

"Hi, I want to show only day, month and year in the comment meta, without a link and time stamp. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks for the tutorials."

It would be great if you could help to add another nice and short code snippet similar to the other comment code snippets. Thank you!
