 * I would like to auto-generate a new link for a multi-language blog, and I have
   gotten the links to work EXCEPT the_time always puts itself BEFORE the rest of
   the string output.
 * Here is the code I am using:
    `<?php echo '<a>post_name.'>Lee este en Español
   </a>'; ?>`
 * Here is what I get: /Year/Month/day/<the rest of the link>
 * Any suggestions on how to get the_time to go after the domain?
 * Thanks!

 * sorry… here is the code I used:
 * `<?php echo '<a href=http://www.domain.org/blog-es'.the_time('/Y/m/j/').$post-
   >post_name.'>Lee este en Español</a>';`

 * ok… if anyone else runs into this problem use the_date instead with the echo 
   set 0.
