 * The date is currently coming straight out of the database. Would you think that
   getting a drop-down list with choices of date format would be a good way to handle
   this?

 * I recommend to use the wordpress default value `get_option('date_format')`.

 * I had not thought of that. I will look at implementing this change in an update.
