I don't know ;). The original BlogSimple recipe (pre Fox) has various
date page variables. Here are two:

# add page variable {$BlogDate} as page creation date
$FmtPV['$BlogDate'] = 'strftime("%d %B %Y", $page["ctime"])'; 

# add pagevariable {$BlogDateSimple} as page creation date
$FmtPV['$BlogDateSimple'] = 'strftime("%a %d %b", $page["ctime"])';

They just have different formatting.

This can today  probably be done easier using a markup expression.
There is one you can enter the format directly, so you don't need the
$FmtPV ... definitions, but I have not tried and don't know if they
work in pagelist templates.

No, the link is fine. The blog homepage is displaying a number of blog
pages, the last on top of the previous one. I did not wanted to
clutter this lengthy show of blog entries with an eve lengthier show
of comments and comment boxes. so the comment box will show only when
going to the page with the blog entry, and the comments as well.
