 * I have a “friendly post times” type of plugin that I wrote. It hooks on the the_time().
   However, I’d like it to only work on the main page and not individual posts. 
   Is there a way to make it work only sometimes?
 * I could do it if i was able to pass in another variable with the_time(). Is there
   a way to do that?
 * Thanks again.

 * You can wrap it in another function is_home();
 * You’ll hopefully find
