 * Hi
 * In the index.php page and within the meta tag, how do you set the PHP Date Tag
   to insert the date for every post entries?
 * This is my Date Tag:
 * <?php the_date(”); ?>
 * This is my site:
 * [http://www.selfcaretalk.com](http://www.selfcaretalk.com)
 * I only get the date for the latest entry but not the previous one(s).
 * What should I change?
 * Thanks and well appreciate it.

 * the_time(‘m/d/Y’)
 * the_date only displays once for each day. You might read up on the template tags…

 * Right. Read the page I linked to (or just use what I posted).

 * Yeap, it was the the_time() tag that did the trick:
 * <?php the_time(‘F j, Y’); ?>
