This in your theme’s functions.php should work:

function prepend_date_to_content($content) {
global $post;
$content = mysql2date("F j, Y", $post->post_date) . ' - ' . $content;
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'prepend_date_to_content',9 ); //using priority 9 to force filter to act before wpautop

try something like (in the loop):

<div class="entry">
<span><?php the_time(' F j Y'); ?> - </span>
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>

and the style:

.entry {
font-size: 115%;
line-height:1.5;
  }
.entry span {
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0px 5px 0 0;
  }
.entry p {
margin:3px 0 12px 0;
  }
