# Add a Blog Post Publication Date

In [Part One](/umbraco-cms/18.latest/develop-with-umbraco/tutorials/starter-kit/lessons/2-add-a-blog-post-publication-date.md) we added a new property to the *Blogpost* Document Type.\
Now in Part Two, we're going to display that instead of the default creation date.

## Steps - Part Two

1. Find the blog posts on the *Blog* in the **Content** section.
2. Add publication dates to the blog posts.
   * Remember to publish your changes!
   * As this field is flagged as Mandatory you now can't save a post without it.
3. Go to the **Settings** section.
4. Expand the **Templates** folder.
5. Navigate to the *Blogpost* template.
   * This is the template that is rendering the full page view of a blog post
6. Find the element with the `blogpost-date` class and change it to use a nicely formatted Publication Date, i.e.:

   ```html
   <small class="blogpost-date">@Model.PublicationDate.ToLongDateString()</small>
   ```
7. Click **Save** to save the template. A confirmation message appears confirming the Template is saved.
8. View the blog post page in the browser. Navigate to the page in the **Content** tree and select the link on the **Info** tab.
