I have a hook that adds creation date to a task as follows
(defun bh/insert-inactive-timestamp ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(insert "\n")
(org-cycle)
(org-insert-time-stamp nil t t nil nil nil)))
(add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook 'bh/insert-inactive-timestamp)
which makes new entries look like this when hitting 'S-RET New Entry'
* TODO New entry
[2009-10-31 Sat 00:56]
This is an inactive timestamp which you can display on the agenda with [
or ].
HTH,
Bernt
