I currently using the Coolrecession theme for my WordPress implementation.  One annoying thing is the default date format for blog posts.  My attempts to change this in WordPress > Settings  did not work.  So I began to look through the source code.  I found the answer on line 26 of the file:

/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/coolrecession/index.php

Below is an example of how it looked before along with the corresponding code snippet:

<?php the_time('m jS, Y') ?>

Below is how it looked afterwards.

<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

Note the change from lower case ‘m’ to upper case ‘F’.

Then I decided I wanted to include the time of the post as well.  So I updated the code to read:

<?php the_time('m jS, Y | g:i a') ?>

Now it looks like this:

Pretty easy once you know where to look.
