[SOLVED] Fitting java formats into PHP, 2 specific questions

[theresa79]

Hello - after struggling for hours, I thought perhaps someone might be able to help me here. Still working on my blog site. Two questions:

1) I'm trying to get the date to fit into the text box with the purple background. As you can see in the code (where I am painfully entering in and out of PHP), the date in the text box is manually entered, and the date right below it is a php code (which is what I need for the first date). Is there a way to pair php so that it can be formatted inside that purple class cell?

2) The link at the bottom right ("more") is also manual - it is a hover-over class format. Is there a way I can fuse the two so that I can get the permalink results to link to that without compromising the style/format?

 

Also, is there a way to actually format the ENTIRE box as shown into php, without having to go in and out?

 

Any clarification would be very much appreciated. Thank you!!
