Problems with date…

I’ll bet a link to your site might help to shed some light on the subject.
Beel,
LMAO ??

In index.php, what do you have here ?
<div id="content">
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php the_date(,'<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
<div class="post">
The above is from a default index.php

As Beel says, what do you have in Options for the date format ?

Yeah, that was the problem. I had PHP date thingy set to display month in numbers, then name and year. Problem was the month was very close to the day I made the first few posts, so I couldn’t tell.
