 * I’m mesing around with the layout and I’d like the date posted right underneath
   the title. The title php is in a div aligned to the right and H2 brackets surronding
   it. I’d like the date right bellow the title with little ornot space but when
   I put the date bellow it in the index file, it leaves a space like it would when
   pressed enter
 * For ex.
 * Title
 * Date
    (That’s what it looks like.)
 * I want
 * Title
    Date

 * Did you check the styles applied to those elements? Sounds like padding or margins
   are creating the extra space.

 * And a question about the styles. What would the style be applied to? The div 
   class? Or div ID? But no I didn’t check that yet. Ill give it a try.

 * The code is.
 *     ```
       <div class="title" align="left"><h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>
       <?php the_time('M j, Y') ?>
       ```
   
 * Then it goes into a div for the_content and after that it closes both divs

 * You should check the title class and also the h2 style if its defined in the 
   style sheet.
