    here is the site: http://www.riskyturtle.net

    here is my problem:

    if you notice on the posts… the date and time stamp is as follows

    —-=
    0 Comments Published August 17th, 2006 in Uncategorized.

    —-=

    This apears right under the title of the post… I tried to change the way the time stamp is taken in the options area in Wp-admin but it didn’t work… I would like it to read “08-17-06 at 10:30 pm”

    also… I would like to move the comments portion… to the bottom of the post… and a dotted underline coving the entire end of the post. ultimately I want the format of the post to look like this

    (TITLE)
    (DATE and TIME)in (CATEGORY)

    (content)

    (coment)
    ………………………………………………….

    I’ve been wrestling with it for a long time now… and can’t seem to figure out exactly where that piece of code is… i used FF web developer and can see the div’s and such… but I can’t find it in the templates to modify it. If anyone has any hints or has a little bit of guidance for this theme modifying rookie… I’d be so very grateful.

    thanks

    You want to do something like this:

    <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
    <?php the_time('m-j-y at g:i A') ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?>

    You would of course need to modify the html around that to fit your template.

    You would need to change this in your “index.php” file (aka through the Theme Editor the “Main Index Template”) and any other pages you would like it to display this way on. For example the “single.php” (single) page, page.php (page template), archive.php (archive template), etc. If your not familiar with editing the WP templates check through the codex.
