 * Hi I am using the following to get the latest five posts.
 *     ```
       <?php
       require('blog/wp-blog-header.php');
       ?>
   
       <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
       <?php endwhile;?>
       ```
   
 * I want to include the date it was posted as well next to the title.
 * How can I do this?
 * Thanks
