   This is what code I'm using in the default theme's sidebar.php
   

   <ul>
    <?php
    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=6&category=1');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    ?>
       <li><?php the_date(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_excerpt(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <li>&nbsp;</li>
    </ul>

   and for some reason it only return the first listed post's date!? Please help!

   the_date() is supporsed to displays the date only once for the first post on the same date.

   You can use the_time() instead.

   i had the same problem. But its easy to solve. Just call the function setup_postdata just after you foreach.

   Change to this

   <ul>
    <?php
    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=6&category=1');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
       <li><?php the_date(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_excerpt(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <li>&nbsp;</li>
    </ul>
