Hi
I'be got my WordPress install up and running, but am having a problem getting the date displayed as I would like, in UK format, when using a different theme.
I've read the info at http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time and would be very happy to change the format to
l, F j, Y
But it's not clear to me which file I need to change... the theme I'm using seems to be overriding the date format I specify on the settings/general page.
Which file should I be looking to edit?

yes, the theme controls your date format as displayed.
go into index.php in your theme
look for <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>
or something similar and put your formatting in the brackets
you may also want to edit other theme files such as page.php and single.php as necessary

Sir, you a scholar and a gentleman.
Two hours banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out myself, sorted here in 10 minutes.
Many thanks!
