# Help request: insert break between posts per date (group)

 * Hello, I’ve done a fair amount of searching to no avail. I need help.
 * My query is that for each group of posts that are displayed via $the_date I want
   to install a break (be it text or a graphic or code or whatever) between each
   post and perhaps a different break between each date group. To understand my 
   query visually, here’s how I want it to look:
 * ———– SITE BANNER ———–
 * ———– START POSTS ———–
 * **Day1 \*bug\* Date1**
    Post 1.1 (break) Post 2.1 (break) Post 3.1 (_different
   break_)
 * **Day2 \*bug\* Date2**
    Post 2.1 (break) Post 2.2 (_different break_)
 * **Day3 \*bug\* Date3**
    Post 3.1 (break) Post 3.2 (_different break_)
 * **Last Day \*bug\* Last Date**
    Post L.1 (break) Post L.2
 * ———– FINISH POSTS ———–
 * ———– SITE FOOTER ———–
 * [http://tinyurl.com/dat9b](http://tinyurl.com/dat9b) is the webdev site showing
   the above so far.
 * I can get the (_different break_) to work before or after each date-grouped set
   of posts (but not between) which I’d accept reluctantly. But I will **not** accept
   a break occurring before or after every post. IOW, no, I do not want to insert
   a break before each post/date or after each post/date — between, baby, between!—
   I want a break between each post but not the same break between the post of one
   day and the post of a previous day.
 * If I figured out one (break) or the other (_different break_), then I’d probably
   get the other or one. 🙂
 * One thing I was able to successfully accomplish was hacking functions.php and
   template-functions-general.php to insert a logo bug between the output of $the_date(
   see above). Accomplishing that hack has me thinking I should be able to focus
   on the “else” of the “if else” within “function the_date…” within template-functions-
   general.php. However, I don’t know squat about PHP. I was only able to get so
   far with inserting the bug between the_date’s output through trial and error (
   I added newday2 to functions.php and the_date2 to t-f-g.php).
 * **Any ideas?** Any, please.
 * Thanks for any help/thoughts!

 * P.S. I ran across several posts (see below), some discussing Moose Candy . Can
   Moose Candy (or some other hack I’ve not discovered) be hacked to insert a break
   between EACH post?
