Month and year to display based on content post date
You haven't explained the context of this date. Is it representing results coming out of views like "this post was 5 days ago" or do you just want todays date on the upper right?

This will print the current date on your theme template.

&lt;?php
echo date('Y M D');
?&gt; 


Share some more info on what this date is giving the user exactly; Drupal has some very helpful code for this kind of thing, such as format_date().
