I see some sites with the day of the wek and the date & time on the the first bar of a GL page (see http://www.daden.com/index.php as an example). What is the code for this? Or more importantly could some one just point me in the right direction so I can fgiure this out my self ( you know the "give a man a fish vs teach him how to fish thing) Thanks.

That depends on the theme you're using. Some themes include the date and time (e.g. Classic, XSilver, ...) and some don't (e.g. Smooth Blue). You'll find the variable in the header.thtml file of those themes. bye, Dirk
