I'm new to this and not very confident so if you can help, please keep it
simple. I have made a website for the school I work in and would like to know
if there is a simple way of making the date that is on the home page,
auttomatically show as the current date. I only update the site from time to
time with new work from children and school events so it can appear out of
date. I could just remove the date I suppose but would rather keep it.
Thanks

Google for "current date script" and you'll come up with many ideas,
including:

I've used this 1 for years. Just go to code view and paste in where
you want the date.

var time=new Date();
var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();
