I have a web that I use for a daily diary type log, each day gets its own topic (Jan31Night2010). I would like to have these pages created automatically and the current date inserted. I've gotten the date part with GMTIME but I need to find a way to keep the date static after the page is created. I've tried using several shell scripts to include the proper date (sed, eval) but haven't gotten it working properly (eval breaks on the html). If the page can't be created automatically is there at least a way to keep the date static? I think my question is related to this question and this question. any Ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
