 * Howdy…
 * I am hoping that someone can point me to a plug-in that will allow me to do the
   following. Otherwise, I hope that what I am asking will not cause too much customization:
 * I want to change how posts are displayed on my home page. What I would like is
   to customize the home page of my WordPress blog to do the following when someone
   visits the page:
 * 1) Check to see what the LAST post date is.
    2) Display all (exerpts) from that
   day.
 * Simple? Essentially, I just want my home page to be the archive page of the last
   post date. Can anyone help me out?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I got it. Here’s the final code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $latest = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_date FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1");
       $latest = str_replace('-', '', substr($latest, 0, 10));
       // echo $latest;
       query_posts('m=' . $latest . '&showposts=-1');
       $wp_query->is_archive = false; $wp_query->is_home = true;
       ?>
       ```
