 * I have successfully installed WP and have changed several options, added a user
   and made a post at [http://www.grador.biz/blog/](http://www.grador.biz/blog/)
   I still have so much to learn and I keep reading the documentation.
 * In general settings I have changed the date format to 7 June 2010 but the dates
   shown against posts are still show as June 7th, 2010. What am I missing?

 * The default theme has the date format hard-coded, and so does not honor the Settings-
   >General option. In index.php, and probably in other templates, change this:
 * `<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>`
 * to this:
 * `<?php the_date('') ?>`
