can someone tell me how to get  short dates posted to an SSI page?

Want Sat not Saturday
Want Dec not December
Want 06 not 2006

Any ideas?

Use the tags for the day and month abbreviations as described in the Documentation: Defined Variables instead of the tags for the long variable forms which are likely there now.

** Want 06 not 2006 **

I don't know that there is a short form variable for the year. Some variation of the Perl substr() function should be able to be used on the full year variable to return part of it though.

JFYI
