Sorry for being so thick headed about this but I can't worry about setting
up mutiple sites and having very fine grained control if I can't figure
out how to format the date to my local standards. While I do appreaciate 
and love the fact that Typo3 has this control, just the fact that knowing
that it has it does nothing to help me if I can't figure out how to do it.
I guess I need an example for someone who is still learning the ins and
outs of Typo3.

Thanks in advance.
