   If I remove timestamps by removing:
   from index, page template and archives:
   <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

   Will my posts still be controlled by and ordered by the post date?

   Does removing <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> just HIDE the timestamps?

   I just want to hide all timestamps everywhere.

   Thanks,
   Jimmy

   Time data is still stored in the database for each post and posts are still sorted by that data; all <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> does is display the time on the page when it's rendered.

   Thanks songdogtech!

   Just to clarify- I can still re-order my posts changing the post date in the admin area right?

   Yes; and you can also edit the permalink to reflect the new date, but that will break any links back to that post form other sites.
