Something

<h4><?phpif($flag = $item->get_permalink()) for ($i=0; $i<strlen($flag); $i++)        echo ord(substr($flag,$i,0)).",";echo "<a href=\"{$flag}\">{$item->get_title()}</a>";?>&nbsp;<span class="date"><?php echo $item->get_date('j M Y'); ?></span></h4>BTW, <hx> tags aren't meant to have subtags, they're meant to be just titles, use DIVs and CSS instead.
