   i am have a random divider bar for each post( http://islandcastaway.com/log/index.php ) but i would like it to show just between the days, not every post. my index.php is :

   <?php
   get_header();
   ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

   <?php the_date('','Captains Log Sea date ',''); ?> </h3><?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?>
   </div>
   <div class="storycontent">
   <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
   </div>
   <div class="feedback">
   <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
   <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
   </div>
   </div>

   <img class="logo" src="<?php echo c2c_random_file('../clipart/bars/'); ?>" />

   <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>

   <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('« Previous Page'), __('Next Page »')); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   how can i get this to just be once a day

   <img class="logo" src="<?php echo c2c_random_file('../clipart/bars/'); ?>" />

   Are the one line text in between those dividers your posts? or messages?

   I took a look but I couldn't work out where your "day" section stops and starts.

   Your font was extremely difficult to read.

   the dividers are the clipart bars in between each post(alot of 1 liners now, im testing sms messages). the day section starts "captains log log(date)"

   i only want the clip art divider bars once a day, not each post. im looking into the "<?php the_date" function to see how that is only called once.

   ps. this is from the wordpress classic theme

   heres the date function, im lost:
   function the_date($d='', $before='', $after='', $echo = true) {
   global $id, $post, $day, $previousday, $newday;
   $the_date = '';
   if ( $day != $previousday ) {
   $the_date .= $before;
   if ( $d=='' )
   $the_date .= mysql2date(get_settings('date_format'), $post->post_date);
   else
   $the_date .= mysql2date($d, $post->post_date);
   $the_date .= $after;
   $previousday = $day;
   }
   $the_date = apply_filters('the_date', $the_date, $d, $before, $after);
   if ( $echo )
   echo $the_date;
   else
   return $the_date;
   }

   Actually, if you're using the default setup (where the date only displays once per group of same-date posts) you could put the bars below the date, which might accomplish something similar to what you're looking for.

   Like this:

   <?php the_date('','<h3>','</h3>','<img src="link to image here" alt="" />'); ?>

   Note please that I haven't tried that code, but I *think* it should work.

   [Edit: no it does NOT work. Let me work on it some, 'kay?]

   1. putting it before the date would be better but messes up the top and bottom posts.

   2. i have a php echo inside my img cmd( <img class="logo" src="<?php echo c2c_random_file('../clipart/bars/'); ?>" />
   )

   3. im really looking for a day wrapper effect.

    i cant believe that it is this hard to get a php function to show once per day.
