Comment:

 Are you aware that `the_date()` is specifically designed to not always
 output a value? Take a look at the documentation for the function:

 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_date

 Unlike `the_date()`, `get_the_date()` will always return a value.

 I'm going to mark this as `worksforme` as this is a common mistake. Please
 reopen if you are sure you are using the function correctly.
