Description Auto Date as Title is a simple to use plugin which inserts the current date and time, in the format desired by you, as the title of your post if you leave the title blank. It will not replace the title if you have already entered a title. This is useful if you use Wordpress as a Daily Journal, or if you run News aggregation blog, or if you simply feel too lazy to add titles to your post. The format of the date can be choosen from the default options or a custom format can be defined. The plugin also translates the month and weekday names according to the language chosen for wordpress. This however depends on Wordpress having a proper translation of the months and weekdays for your selected language
