Post Title & Author Name Problem :(

Hello Everyone,

I need help in sorting out this issue. I am not very familiar to php .. but do know a little bit about it.

I want to bring my post title and the author name along with the date and time in the same line. Everything in one line. But I cannot resolve this issue. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

After I am done with that, I also need to define a limit to the characters of the post title. Please check my website link at: http://www.loungepk.com

The following is the code that I am not able to understand and modify to do the above:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_post_link(‘« %link’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php next_post_link(‘%link »’) ?></div>
</div><div style=”clear:both”> </div>
<div <?php post_class(); ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2 class=”posttitle”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”postmetadata”>
<?php if(f2_option(‘show_author’) == ‘on’) : ?>
<?php _e(‘Posted by’, ‘f2’); ?> <span class=”postauthor”><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php _e(‘on’, ‘f2’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<span class=”postdate”><?php the_time(__(‘j F Y, g:i a’, ‘f2’)); ?></span>
</div>
<div class=”postentry”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p>‘.__(‘Pages:’, ‘f2′).’ ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
</div>

<div class=”postmetadata”>
<div class=”posttagscat”>
<?php if(f2_option(‘show_cat’) == ‘on’) : ?>
<span class=”postcat”><?php _e(‘Filed under’, ‘f2’); ?> <?php the_category(‘, ‘); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if( function_exists(‘the_tags’) )
the_tags(‘<span class=”posttags”>’.__(‘Tagged’, ‘f2′).’ ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘</span>’);
?>
</div>
<span class=”postcomment”><?php if(comments_open()) { ?><?php _e(‘Comment’, ‘f2’) ?> (<?php comments_rss_link(‘RSS’); ?>)<?php } else _e(‘Comments are closed’, ‘f2’); ?>
<?php if(pings_open()) { ?> |   ” rel=”trackback”><?php _e(‘Trackback’, ‘f2’) ?><?php } ?>
</span>
<span class=”permalink”> |  ” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php printf(__(‘Permanent Link to %s’, ‘f2’), the_title_attribute(‘echo=0’)); ?>”>Permalink</span>
<?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit’, ‘f2’), ‘<span class=”postedit”>’, ‘</span>’); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_post_link(‘« %link’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php next_post_link(‘%link »’) ?></div>
</div>

<?php else: ?>

<div class=”post”>
<h2 class=”posttitle”><?php _e(‘Not Found’, ‘f2’) ?></h2>
<div class=”postentry”><p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’, ‘f2’); ?></p></div>
</div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Please help me out :(…

Thanks,
SW
