+
+**Task Description**
+You're re-designing a blog, and the blog's posts have the Weekday Month Day, time format for showing the date and time when a post was made, e.g., `Friday May 2, 7pm`.
+
+You're running out of screen real estate, and on some pages you want to display a shorter format, `Weekday Month Day` that omits the time.
+
+Write a function that takes the website date/time in its original string format and returns the shortened format.
+
+**Input**
+Input will always be a string, e.g., `"Friday May 2, 7pm"`.
+
+**Output**
+Output will be the shortened string, e.g., `"Friday May 2"`.
