 * Hey Guys,
 * I’m having trouble getting the <time> element in validate in HTML5 when generated
   by PHP/WordPress. I’ve tried several variants, but here is my starting point.
   Any ideas?
 * `<time><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></time>`

 * I’m not sure what your php echos out, but its value should follow W3C’s syntax
