Place that where you want the date, and just edit the stylesheet to make it look good. Make sure it is inside The Loop, but I doubt you want the date above all of the posts…

Quick stuff:
* Don’t use <center>. It’s outdated. Use a <div> or something.
* Don’t use tables for layout. The technology is over 10 years old, and better things can be done with simple CSS.

I assume you know basic HTML/CSS and can hack your way around a PHP file (it’s easy, if you don’t get it, just Google it or post back), right ??

Just navigate (with a file browser, not a web browser) to /wordpress-install-directory/wp-content/themes and open up your theme folder.

index.php is the middle part of your site, so open that up in a text editor.

Look at your other themes, see what code makes the stamp (I make themes, so I can help if you are really stuck), and add it. I don’t know what else to say…

IDK, but I would suggest XAMPP: https://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#641.

If you choose it, I suggest reading the Vista problems (as a lot of Vista’s problems come pre-packaged in Windows 7. That’w what I had running after I switched to Linux): https://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-windows.html

All you have to do is fire up PHPMyAdmin (change password via https://localhost/security), create a database, unzip WordPress into your server directory (that’s the most problematic for Windows 7 x64, as you have to force it to install in the Program Files directory, not Program Files (x86). The server root is in the ‘htdocs’ folder).

Then just go to https://localhost/wordpress (or whatever you named the folder) and it’s good to go.

Have fun ??

What OS are you running?

I’ve been running XAMPP for Windows (I use Linux) for a year now, and it works right out of the box. I had some trouble with it in the beginning, but the problems were OS-related (as Windows is a terrible server OS. There are 30MB Linux distros that work better than any Windows install).

To install it, all you have to do is get PHPMyAdmin (web-based MySQL manager) and create a database called ‘WordPress’. The default login username is ‘root’, and the password can be set here (assuming XAMPP Full is installed): https://localhost/security/.

All you do next is just unzip WordPress, type in your PHPMyAdmin credentials (which are your MySQL database credentials), and you are good to go.

BTW, what is greyed out in XAMPP? If you have lite (as I do) version, you can install PHPMyAdmin from the ZIP file, just like WordPress.

Post back if anything works/fails, as I bet others will have the exact same problem…
