Date format errors and date defaults

[Lachlan Musicman]

I'm getting an error I don't quite understand how to solve - despite
having

USE_L10N = True
DATE_FORMAT=('j N, Y')
DATE_INPUT_FORMATS=('%d %B %Y')

in my settings.py, the SelectDateWidget still renders in Month/Day/
Year order instead of day/month/year?

Also, is there a way to set the default month and day? Basically if
only the year is known, I'd like the date to default to 1st January,
but I don't want to necessarily have to enter that data?


Cheers
