Please don't use a custom format for the date, it doesn't work for non-US users.

Drupal does a great job of letting the admin and even the user customize the date formats.

the reason why it is there was to give the users the ability to theme the date the way they want. If you're a non-US user, just change it to the way you want it to be. This saves the less php-savy peeps the hassle of trying to theme the date.

If you want the default one, you can find it in the default node.tpl.php

<?php print $submitted?>

I see. Maybe it would be more helpful to use "short", "medium" or "long" instead of "custom" though.

The point of having it custom is to make it easy to customize it, so "short", "medium", or "long" wouldn't help that much.
