I am trying to make my own blogs, it's going well i have the date formatted right now as, Posted on: July,4, 2012 at 6:40PM.

But i see a lot of good blogs have it set as, Posted 2 Days Ago, By Sally...
or Posted 120 Hours ago, By Jeff.

How do i use the smarty date:format to achieve this?
Thanks in advance, i don't want to wast a lot of time on just this part but i do want it to look good and easy to understand for my users.

Also, i had a page on here bookmarked, it showed how to create an upload with smarty. But it says page not found now does anyone know a link to a good one to use, for some reason some of this site is coming back as page cannot be displayed when i search or try to see my mail, im not lazy i just having issues its been like this since i bought a new router...

This can't be done by the date_format modifier.

See an example function here
