Blog Post Titles

I am reconsidering my (semi) daily blog post titles. I have been naming them "Today's Links" and they are dated next to the entry. That doesn't help when the title is used without the date, like in the popular post area. So, I think that I will start putting the date in the name. I am not sure what the date format should look like. Opinions? MM/DD/YY, Month Day Year,...?

Comments welcome.
