   I used to have code underneath in the loop to get alternating colours for my posts, by styling 'post odd' and 'post even'.
   

   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>  
   
   <div class="post <?php echo $odd_or_even; $odd_or_even = ('odd'==$odd_or_even) ? 'even' : 'odd'; ?>" >

   Now TwentyTen is using the post_class() function, so how can I do this?
   Generating a <div> around the post_class() is possible but not very elegant, can I easily add this to the post_class?

   have you read the docu about post_class() ?

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/post_class

   <?php
    $odd_or_even = ('odd'==$odd_or_even) ? 'even' : 'odd';
   post_class($odd_or_even);
   ?>

   thanks alchymyth, read the doc and looked at the special cases.

   It didn't occur to me that it was this easy by passing the function result. I'm just using php for a month or so and trying to find my way around.
