Hi Chip,

I've added your snippet to the repo but had to modify it to get it to 
work, since I had the same troubles you had.  I simplified the musical 
part drastically, and that's what finally made it compile.

I also left off all of the stuff about changing the parameters of the 
date format, because it came out as a big jumbled mess.  If you'd like 
to send that part of your description with some html formatting commands 
I'll be happy to add it back in there.  For now I just said the format 
of the date can be changed according to the parameters found in the date 
manpage on Linux/Unix systems.  I did add <p></p> markup to the first 
three paragraphs of your description but didn't have time to do that to 
all of the lines in the date formatting.

You can find the snippet once you're in the database by typing "current" 
in the title field and clicking "enable filter."  The snippet is called 
"adding the current date to a footer or tagline."

Best,

Jon
