# Header by date?

 * My blog’s main headers are by date. I’m just using a basic loop:
 * `<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h1
   ><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></h1> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> <?php the_content();?
   > <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?>
 * This works fine for me except that if there’s more than one post on the same 
   day, that `<h1>` repeats. How can I get it to only show the date `<h1>` once 
   for a day (before the first post?

 * use the_date instead of the_time.
 * `<h1><?php the_date('F j, Y') ?></h1>`
