 * That would need to be added/edited into your active theme’s template(s) to display
   the time for a post.

 * Not a lot to go on for helping out. What theme is in use? Do you have a link?

 * Since the time is already displayed on a single post page, I’ll assume you want
   this for the home page, and possibly archive (and category) pages.
 * For the default theme you want to edit its index.php or Main Index Template. 
   Information on editing a theme, or files in general related to your WordPress
   installation, can be found here:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files)
 * In the index.php look for this line:
 * `<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small
   >`
 * It’s a little different than your average theme’s inclusion of the_time(), since
   it’s passing a [date format string](http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time)
   as an argument (i.e. `'F jS, Y'`). We can adjust this string so it displays both
   the date and the time:
 * `<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y @ g:i a') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --
   ></small>`
 * That will display the date/time as:
 * >  January 14th, 2006 @ 12:01 pm
 * For archive and category pages, edit the default theme’s archive.php (first Archives
   on the theme editor page), look for:
 * `<small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>`
 * and make the same change as above to the argument passed to the_time().
