Help with "Date Posted" on homepage

You need to add some code to the loop. Open index.php, then underneath <h2 class=”posttitle”>blah blah</h2> put this:
<p class="date"><?php the_date()></p>

Thanks a ton for your help. I just tried that and when I added it in, my entire site wouldn’t load. Here is part of the code from index.php. Is there something in there that I need to remove? We don’t want the category or author to show on the homepage, JUST the date.

<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to', 'cc' ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<p class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> <em><?php _e( '', 'cc' ) ?> <?php if(defined('BP_VERSION')){  printf( __( ' by %s', 'cc' ), bp_core_get_userlink( $post->post_author ) );}?></em></p>

							<div class="entry">
								<?php do_action('blog_post_entry')?>
							</div>
							<?php $tags = get_the_tags(); if($tags)	{  ?>
								<p class="postmetadata"><span class="tags"><?php the_tags( __( 'Tags: ', 'cc' ), ', ', '<br />'); ?></span> <span class="comments"></span></p>
							<?php } else {?>
								<p class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"></p>
							<?php } ?>
						</div>

					</div>

					<?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_post' ) ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<div class="navigation">

					<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( __( '&larr; Previous Entries', 'cc' ) ) ?></div>
					<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Next Entries &rarr;', 'cc' ) ) ?></div>

				</div>

			<?php else : ?>

				<h2 class="center"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'cc' ) ?></h2>
				<p class="center"><?php _e( 'Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn\'t here.', 'cc' ) ?></p>

				<?php locate_template( array( 'searchform.php' ), true ) ?>

			<?php endif; ?>
		</div>

		<?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_home' ) ?>

		</div><!-- .padder -->
	</div><!-- #content -->

<?php get_footer() ?>

Strange, I don’t know why that would break the site. Anyway, you just need to remove the bit <?php the_time(‘F j, Y’) ?> up to the closing </p>

Like this:

<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to', 'cc' ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<p class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></p>

							<div class="entry">
								<?php do_action('blog_post_entry')?>
							</div>
							<?php $tags = get_the_tags(); if($tags)	{  ?>
								<p class="postmetadata"><span class="tags"><?php the_tags( __( 'Tags: ', 'cc' ), ', ', '<br />'); ?></span> <span class="comments"></span></p>
							<?php } else {?>
								<p class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"></p>
							<?php } ?>
						</div>

					</div>

					<?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_post' ) ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<div class="navigation">

					<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link( __( '&larr; Previous Entries', 'cc' ) ) ?></div>
					<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Next Entries &rarr;', 'cc' ) ) ?></div>

				</div>

			<?php else : ?>

				<h2 class="center"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'cc' ) ?></h2>
				<p class="center"><?php _e( 'Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn\'t here.', 'cc' ) ?></p>

				<?php locate_template( array( 'searchform.php' ), true ) ?>

			<?php endif; ?>
		</div>

		<?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_home' ) ?>

		</div><!-- .padder -->
	</div><!-- #content -->

<?php get_footer() ?>

under theme-settings / general / default-homepage you have the options to hide the author and date and more.

Got it. I actually needed to do both things suggested above. A huge thanks!

CodeBiotics and Full Circle, I owe you both a drink.
