By default your WordPress blog will display date and time as “September 3, 2010” and “12:59 am“. When using the default template you can easily change the format by changing the General Settings from your WordPress Admin page. Go to Settings > General and change the settings using the button selections or using the custom form.
However most custom themes have been pre-configured and require manual modifications. Open your HTML/PHP editor and search your WordPress theme files for this strings:
<?php the_time('F-j-Y') ?> *those in green may be different on your themes.
Change the green codes by referring to this table:
