Hi Ken,

If you do  <C-u C-c .> you will get an active timestamp with date and=20
time. <C-u C-c !> will give you an inactive timestamp with date and time.
I also have this code in my .emacs file, so whenever I create a headline=20
I get an inactive timestamp automatically.  It should be easy to change=20
to get an active timestamp if you want.

;------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
;Creating new headlines insert inactive timestamps automatically

(defun bh/insert-inactive-timestamp ()
(interactive)
(org-insert-time-stamp nil t t nil nil nil))

(defun bh/insert-heading-inactive-timestamp ()
(save-excursion
(org-return)
(org-cycle)
(bh/insert-inactive-timestamp)))

(add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook 'bh/insert-heading-inactive-timestamp)
;------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-

Enjoy!
