 * My Time Zone setting is Los Angeles and I live in Washington State.
    My date 
   format is: December 11, 2009 My time format is: 1:23 pm
 * When I post an article I get for example:
 * Thur ,10/12/2009
 * The post was made on Thursday December 10, 2009
 * Not a developer just a user of WordPress. Any simple ideas?
 * Thanks,
    Mark

 * Hi Mark
 * – Go to ‘Appearance; Editor’
    – Select the ‘mainindex.php’ file from the list
   on the right hand side – Look for a parameter called ‘php the_time’ (depending
   on which theme you are using, the parameter might be in a different file(s))
 * – Make sure it is set to: <?php the_time(‘l, F j, Y’) ?>
 * That should return the format ‘Thursday, December 10, 2009’
 * Here’s the complete list of formats:
 * If not, let me know. Be sure to let me know your theme name and URL in the reply.
 * Good luck.
