1. Check out the edx-platform "gh-pages" branch (not master)  (aka: select this branch and sync).
   Note: If you're using the command line, after you check out gh-pages, you may have to run "git pull" to update the branch.
2. In Finder, navigate to edx-platform/index.html and open index.html in Sublime or your preferred editing tool.
3. Search the file for the last release date and update it to the current release date. (The date only appears once in the file.)
4. Save and then commit and sync (or "push", if you're using the command line) your branch. (You don't need to make a pull request.)
5. Check the docs.edx.org page to make sure that the date gets updated within a few minutes.
