no date, author name or comment

I have added a blog post to my front page and all seems to be working well except I have lost the date, author name and comment. What have I deleted and from where? :)

I'm going to guess that everything is fine because the home page of this theme doesn't list date, author name and comment of blog posts. The idea is to present a small image and some text to get people to click through to the whole post.

I know the theme doesn't but I am talking about the blog post which usually does have author, date and comment. This is the code I have used:

<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2><?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>

The front page doesn't (normally) present those fields for blog posts or any other kinds of post.

Look in the index.php file to see how to get the fields you are looking for. They are in the "date" div.
