   I was wondering if there's a quick tag that displays the date and time of the most recent post. Right now I'm using this:

   <?php if (have_posts()) :  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   				<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y, g:i a') ?></a>
   			<?php endwhile; ?>
   		<?php else : ?>
   			<p class="center">Move along, nothing to see here.</p>
   		<?php endif; ?>

   But I need to be able to limit it to one post, and when I tried to do that it limited all the loops on the page to one post.

   This will help you understand the loop thingy

   Well I was wondering if there was a tag that automatically added that information. This is what I have right now but it screws up my breadcrumb navigation:

   <?php global $post;
       $the_newest = get_posts('numberposts=1'); ?>
   
   				<?php foreach($the_newest as $post) :  setup_postdata($post);  ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_time('F jS, g:i a') ?></a>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   You will likely want to have a 'loop' that displays just that one post, then another that is your normal query loop.
