 * Hi,
 * I am currently making a theme for a new magazine. We post four new articles every
   week on Monday. I would like to be able to order all of the posts from that week
   under a single heading of that Monday’s date.
 * I’m having trouble looping through only one week’s worth of articles, adding 
   a breaker – which says the date of the next week – and then looping through the
   next week’s articles, ad infinitum.
 * How would I go about doing this? I don’t really want to add a new category for
   every week, as all of the articles are published on the same date.
 * Thanks!

 * I figured out a way of doing it by comparing the_date() of each article to the
   previous one and either creating a new group or not depending on the outcome.
   No need to edit the Loop at all! 🙂
 *     ```
       <?php $prevDate=get_the_date();	?>
       <?php while ($prevDate==get_the_date()): ?>
       <li>
       <div class="article-thumb"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"> <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> </a></div>
       <div class="article-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></div>
       <div class="byline"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></div>
       <div class="kicker"> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> </div>
       </li>
       <?php $prevDate=get_the_date();	?>
   
       <?php the_post(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
