 * Hello, I would like to highlight new/recent posts using a CSS class.
    So, say,
   posts in the last 7 days show a class “recentpost” and therefore look differently
   when listed together with older posts.
 * Can you help me do this?
    Thanks!

 * hello.
    This code will add a css class recentpost if the post is newer than 7
   days;
 *     ```
       <div class="post <?php
       $prevWeek = time() - (7 * 24 * 60 * 60);
       $postDate = the_date('U', '', '', FALSE);
       if($postDate >= $prevWeek) {
       	echo"recentpost";
       	}
       ?>">your post</div>
       ```
