    I would like to have a post that is connected for each day of the week. What I want to do is have a certain amount of information that automatically shows up on the front of my page as each day turns. Each day having its own post or something of that nature that it corresponds to.

    Is there any combination of WP trickery or plug ins I can use to make this happen?

    I appreaciate any help you can throw at me.

    I’d make them pages (“Write => Page”). Make a new page for each day of the week, name the page after the day of the week (so “Monday”, “Tuesday”, etc…). Then, on your index, put in a section with a new query to pull the page for what day of the week it is:

    <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('pagename='.date("l")); ?>

    <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) :
    $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    // Do stuff.
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    You can use future-posting to possibly accomplish this. That is, you can write posts today for the next month or so, setting the timestamp on the Write->Post page for each entry to a particular/unique date.

    As the new dates approach, the posts will get published. It’s cumbersome, but it should work.

    If you could tell us more about why you’d want what you are looking for, smarter people might give you smarter answers. 🙂
