 * Hi all, forgive me if this is a stupid question but I am awful with code.
 * I wish to add the time to post posts, currently they say this:
    **BY JAMIE DĄBROWIECKI,
   MARCH 6, 2013** (on the homepage) **Published on March 6, 2013, by Jamie Dąbrowiecki**(
   on the post itself)
 * What I want them to say:
    **BY JAMIE DĄBROWIECKI, MARCH 6, 2013, 15:34** (on 
   the homepage) **Published on March 6, 2013 at 15:34 by Jamie Dąbrowiecki** (on
   the post itself)
 * Is this possible? Here is my current single.php template:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       	<!-- BEGIN MAIN WRAPPER -->
       	<div id="main-wrapper">
   
       		<!-- BEGIN MAIN -->
       		<div id="main">
   
       			<!-- BEGIN POST -->
       			<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       			<div id="post">
   
       				<h1 class="post-header"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   
       				<p class="post-meta">Published on <?php the_time( get_option('date_format') ); ?>, by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> - Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <span class="meta-comment"><a href="#respond"><?php comments_number('0', '1', '%' );?></a></span></p>
   
       				<?php if (  (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())  ) { /* if post has a thumbnail */ ?>
       				<div class="post-thumb">
       					<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
       				</div>
       				<?php } ?>
   
       				<div class="post-entry">
       					<?php the_content(); ?>
       					<?php wp_link_pages('before=<span class="page-links"><strong>Pages:</strong> &after=</span>'); ?>
