Ahh ofcourse, i will make sure the date format change can be set in admin settings
so it suits your site and area..
But for now, in the widget costumization there is a line called
Code:
$format = '%d/%m/%y';
you can change that in any way you like, %d = day %m = month %y = year .
I will ofcourse add this to the options panel, it should ofcourse be default
to set date format there..
