   Could someone help me align the date to the right margin of site

   I added the php code for today's date to the header.php file: http://pastebin.com/7AEQaFNS

   I added this code to the .css file: http://pastebin.com/gb5hnkya

   What am I doing wrong?

   the_time() does show the publish time of a post;
   outside the loop, this could be random, possibly the last or first post on the page.

   consider to use date() instead; http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

   as for the formatting, you are confusing css ids and classes;

   OK, I used this code for the date: <?php echo date('l jS, F, Y') ?>

   For the css, I added this code but the date isn't aligning to the right of the blog page:
   `.todaysdate {
   float: right;
   color: #444;
   font-size: 20px;
   line-height: 1.625em;
   padding: 0 1.2125em;
   margin-top: 10px;
   font-weight: bold;
   }`

   It works when I use .todaysdate but not when I use #todaysdate. Thanks :)

   I'm using a 2012 child theme on the site.

   You need to use .todaysdate (period for class, hashtags are for id)

   It works! Now I know the difference between period for class, hashtags are for id.
