   namefl’); ?> <?php _e(‘on’,’Mimbo’); ?> <?php the_time(‘n/d/y’); ?> • <?php _e(‘
   Categorized as’,’Mimbo’); ?> <?php the_category(‘,’) ?></p>

 * se the codex for general information.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages)
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates)
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts)
 * the loop on a page template needs ‘some instructions’ waht to display.
 * you could use the way the ‘page of posts’ in the above documentation does it;
   
   or you could use ‘query_posts()’ [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)
 * you need to know what you want to display with your page template, and then set
   the arguments accordingly.
