Ok forget the date stamp Q ...dumbo has figured you have to put a tick in the box next to the date change!

Still would love to auto display earliest entry first.

If you add this to the top of your index.php then your blogposts will be displayed in ascending order :-

<?php $order = 'asc'; ?>

¥

My index.php file now has

<?php $order = 'asc'; ?>
/**

Now the BLOG doesn't display at all.

if you change the first line to :-

<?php
$order = 'asc';

it'll all start working again ;)

Fantastic.

Works perfectly!! :D :D

One last thing....

How do I set the date format?

It's USA date style.....how do I set it DD/MM/YY?

Many thanks for the great help so far.

You can change the date format in admin > settings > regional.

¥

Regional settings are already set to English(UK)

still not displaying in correct format 18th March is ....03/18/05

Ok sussed it...the blog had a local of US so was over-riding the regional.

Thanks

No problem ;)
