Futurama is on! The title of this post is the tag line for the episode. We all love Futurama right?
Seriously though, the reason I’m posting this is because I need to test some new site functionality. My original idea for the home page here was to display all the posts from the last day that had posts. So, if I made three posts on March 7 and hadn’t made any posts since that, you’d see those three posts. As soon as a post is made on a later date, only posts from that day show up, etc.
Unfortunately, WordPress isn’t quite that flexible. There don’t even seem to be any plugins that provide this sort of functionality. I wasn’t entirely sure how to do it so I settled for only showing the most recent post on the home page, which is great unless I feel like posting more than once a day.
Anyways, it finally struck me how to do it this morning: compare the date of the first post in the WordPress Loop with all the other posts, and if the date changes break the loop. It’s actually pretty simple… or should be, anyways. I’ll be making another post after this one—hopefully with more substantive content—to test things out.
