 In '''single.php''', at line 28, there needs to be a comma after calling
 '''the_time()''', unless a different dating format is used.

 Properly, when the "Mmmm dd, yyyy" format is used for dates in a sentence,
 and the year is not ''otherwise'' followed immediately by punctuation, it
 ''must'' be followed by a comma.  This is because the comma ''offsets''
 the year, much as would a parenthesis. (See ''Chicago Manual of Style''
 6.46.)
