Wordpress

Hello,

I currently am displaying dates as follows "yyyy/mm/dd" in a wordpress blog (it needs to be input in this format because a plugin is using it to define a post expiration date). I want to use jQuery to locate all of these strings on a page (they're all in table cells) and reformat them to "mm.dd.yy"

The site is:

http://www.beattrainsoundsystem.com/category/gigs

The dates also exist in the footer on every page which I would also like to change.

Thanks!
