\section{Fancy headers}
\lhead{Author's Name, top left}
\chead{\today}
\rhead{\thepage}
\lfoot{\textit{Author's Name, bottom left}}
\cfoot{\thepage}
\rfoot{\textsc{\today}}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
To get headers on your page (like this one). You can use the |fancyhdr| package:
\begin{lstlisting}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\lhead{Author's Name, top left}
\chead{\today}
\rhead{\thepage}
\lfoot{\textit{Author's Name, bottom left}}
\cfoot{\thepage}
\rfoot{\textsc{\today}}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\end{lstlisting}

There are a lot more options, but for those I'll refer to the
\fnhref{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Page_Layout\#Customizing_with_fancyhdr}{Wikibooks page}
