 * Please refrain from crossposting next time.
 * The date format is in “Settings | General” or “Options | General”.
 * If that doesn’t work, open your theme files and look for `<?php the_time('d/m/
   Y'); ?>` or `<?php the_date('d/m/Y'); ?>` and change them.

 * Hey, send me an ecard if this helps. 🙂
