Decide what to do about mismatched dates

[beechnut]

Dates are handled differently between platforms.

Given this file and front matter:

content/posts/2022-01-21-what-have-you-learned-from-other-18F-designers.md

---
title: "We asked our coworkers: What have you learned from other 18F designers?"
date: 2022-01-22
# ...

In Jekyll the front matter date is ignored and the file slug date is used for both the URL and the published date:

-https://18f.gsa.gov/2022/01/21/what-have-you-learned-from-other-18F-designers/
Published on January 21, 2022 

In 11ty, the file slug date is used for published, but the front matter date is used for URLs.

+http://localhost:8080/2022/01/22/what-have-you-learned-from-other-18F-designers/
Published on January 21, 2022 

This inspires the question: why do we have the front matter date, if it's wrong, not getting used by Jekyll, and causing conflicts in 11ty?

Should we:

• Delete all the front matter dates?
• Reconfigure 11ty to choose the file slug date over the page date (not sure that's possible)?
• Change all the divergent front-matter dates to be the same as the slug date?
• Some or all of the above?

Acceptance criteria

Beta Give feedback

1. A decision has been made that minimizes divergence from production 18f.gsa.gov
2. That decision is implemented (e.g. dates changed / config changed)
3. Smoke test: "We asked our coworkers: What have you learned from other 18F designers?" has a URL date of 2022/01/21/
