I want the title to be displayed using &lt;h1&gt; and then in smaller italics I want it to show the date it was posted and the authors real name, not id. Then I want the post to show a small excerpt of the actual post with a link at the bottom that says Read the rest of this post and of course at the bottom, the number of comments and a link to Share Your Thoughts.</p> <p>Can somebody please help me out with the code and possibly break it down for me so that I can learn how it was done? </p>
