Day as opposed to next/previous post?

Yes, I know there’s posts paged but I always display my posts by 1 day. It’s more understandable to go to the next day’s posts then to the next 3 posts paged. Or at least to me it makes more sense.
bump.
yeah i could really use this too– i’m using scriptygoddess’ next/previous day link plugin (http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/2004/06/27/previous-archive-date-next-archive-date-links/) … but this provides only for archive pages.
what i’m looking for is a way to simply link to the ‘previous day’ from the footer of a homepage that is always set to show the most recent day of posts.
as far as i know, wordpress template tags for previous posts work only with posts paged, and of course this plugin is design for archive pages.
Easy:
<?php posts_nav_link(" | ","« Previous Page ", " Next Page »"); ?>
“Displays navigation showing next and previous pages if the “posts paged” option is set. “

er, thanks but this isn’t it — i need a function to call the previous day when homepage is set to 1 day, not x posts paged.
thanks kafkaesqui — actually that plugin works on just archive pages — not the home page.
if i knew php better i could probably hack it but alas no yet…
Ok…how about the method I use on my blog (though I’ve modified it quite a bit)?

A little more than just next/previous, but doesn’t rely on posts paged, and can be set to display on all pages, including home.
well…. having seen this plugin before, i thought maybe i missed something. i installed it and… nope — it may not require posts paged, but it does not help me out.
again, this blog (www.newsdissector.com/blog/) is set to display the most recent day of posts. how can i link to the previous day of posts, or alternatively the previous week/month of posts with the latest day offset?
getting sort of desperate … pls email any ideas to [email protected] or post here. thanks!
as soon as i figure out how to write the correct conditional statement for just the homepage ($home has never worked for me with 1.2), i think i’ll just link to the the current month’s archive.
offset or previous day would be cool but whatevuh
