I saw this feature in some weblogs, and i don't know if it's a plugin, or it's a wordpress setting.

Something like this might work if you're not afraid of PHP:
Look in your template's index.php (or whatever template file controls your blog's front page) for this:
the_time(...)
(It won't really say "..."). Change this to say something like this:
$currenttime = get_the_time(...)
(Don't change the "..." part). Then, right after (before any html or anything), paste in something like this:
<?php if ( $currenttime != $lasttime ){
print $currenttime;
$lasttime = $currenttime;
} ?>I haven't tried it, but unless I'm overlooking something, that should probably work.

I don't think you need any of the complicated code above. Just switch to the Classic theme - it will do exactly what you described. Study the index.php in that theme and you are good to go.

Very true. Thanks for pointing that out rudolf45. Now that I look at the Classic theme, I see that I wasn't aware of an easier way to do this.
aditza121, if you don't want to switch to classic, here's an easier way to do it than what I wrote.
Once again, begin by finding the_time(...). But just replace it with the_date(...). Only you need to make a slight modification.
If the_time was between <h2> and </h2>, you would need to delete these and bring them inside the_date(), like this:
the_date('', '<h2>', '</h2>')
That will do it for you.
