Export html from org-mode: custom date format

Question

I am exporting org files to html. I am using Org-mode 7.9.3f with Emacs 24.

How can I get a custom time format in the postamble?

I tried setting the variable org-export-html-postamble-format to

(setq org-export-html-postamble-format 
       '(("en" "<p class=\"date\">Date: %d</p>")))

Then the time format looks like this: 2013-07-16T21:20+0200

I would like to have only the date: 2013-07-16, i.e %y-%m-%d.

You should try:

(setq org-export-html-date-format-string "%Y-%m-%d")
