In newsletter.asp you see the code:
<% = FormatDateTime(sarryNewsletter(2,0), vbLongDate) %>

Change "vbLongDate"

Here you see the different formats:

vbGeneralDate - 2/17/03 12:12:38 PM
vbLongDate - Monday, February 17, 2003
vbShortDate - 2/17/03
vbLongTime - 12:12:38 PM
vbShortTime - 12:12

You can also change the locale the ASP application runs under. Have a look at the following page:-

Thanks, but how change here the date format?

'Loop through each of the XML RSS Feed items and place it in an HTML table
For Each sarryRSSFeedItem In objRSSFeedItem

  'Web Wiz NewsPad RSS Feed Item childNodes
  '0 = title
  '1 = link
  '2 = description (post)
  '3 = pubDate
  '4 = guid (perminent link)
  '5 = WebWizNewsPad:pubDateISO (ISO international date)

  strHTML = strHTML & " <tr class=""tableRow"">" & _
  vbCrLf & " <td>" & _
  vbCrLf & "   <li><strong><a href=""" & sarryRSSFeedItem.childNodes(1).text & """>" & sarryRSSFeedItem.childNodes(0).text & "</a></strong>" & _
  vbCrLf & "   <em> - " & FormatDateTime(sarryRSSFeedItem.childNodes(5).text, 1) & "</em></li>" & _
  vbCrLf & " </td>" & _
  vbCrLf & " </tr>"
Next

You would set the locale at the top of the file:-

Session.LCID = 2057

2057 is for UK, you would change the number to your own locale.
