Date, Time, Author format (5 posts)

    For some reason when I look into the wp.php file, I notice a code for posted by, but I don't see that on my blog at http://www.marginalspace.com . Maybe that only gets activated when someone other than an admin posts? But, I don't see any code to check for that. My main concern is, I don't like the date being at the top, and I would much rather have it after the "Filed under: ____" and before the author name. I'm sure I can rearrange the php code to do this, but what happened to the "posted by" code that's clearly not commented out in the wp.php file??
    Thanks in advance!

    Ah ha, I didn't bother to follow the logic of the pages, to notice that wp.php wasn't called. Yea, I definitely would rather use the date () via PHP. Thanks guys.

    Expanding on Kafkaesqui's note, expanding on my note, using the_date() will only appear once despite the number of posts made in one day so you will want to use the_time() if you are using it on a per post basis (as in after "Filed under:")

    Yea i figured it out. But, how'd you guys know that the_time() (which is NOT a standard PHP function) takes the same arguments? Might be a stupid question. I couldn't find the function definition myself in the code. But, I gave up after a while.

    Practice?
    No, that's how I get to Carnegie Hall. ;)
