   I want to be able to point out that I may have posted something sooner then my competitors. To that end I want the time the post was made to show up in the date day and month area if possible or somehwere else if need be. Can someone point me in the right direction?

   thank you from a newbie

   i did search, but i amyu have missed it.

   Look at these functions:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_time
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_modified_time

   ... see about adding one of them to the appropriate template files in your theme.

   Unfortunately not everything is point and click. Sometimes results are commensurate with effort.

   Maybe if you mention what theme you are using someone will be kind enough to tell you what edits you need to make, and where to make them in your theme.

   i understand, its a time factor thing is all for the learning curve. Full time job, running the blog with daily updates and family time just deosnt leave much time left for learning.

   I do thank the attempts for help regardless.

   Here is my theme - wsCorvette Theme 1.0 by Wired Studios

   thanks again

   You could try these edits (Make backups first!):

   index.php, single.php for line 16:
   

   <span class="category">Published in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span><span class="time"> on <?php the_time(); ?></span></div>

   That should get you looking in the direction you want to go ... changing line 16 is just a suggestion, where you want the time to appear is your choice.
