   as a reference.
 * You see how the videos are arranged with a “date header” for each day? I’m aware
   that neither of these sites use wordpress, but is this possible in WordPress?
   And if so, what are the correct codes I should place into my template?

 * To see this in action, switch to the WordPress Default theme, then edit the wp-
   content/themes/default/sidebar.php file and change the code regarding wp_get_archives
   to this:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_get_archives('type=daily'); ?>
       ```
   
 * Note that the wp-content/themes/default/archive.php is what displays that title.

 * Will I be able to use a WordPress loop to display the “posts” ? I would like 
   to be able to show the number of views, a thumbnail, the title and whatever else
   could be included in a standard WP loop. This will also be used on my site’s 
   home page. Can it be used that way?

 * wp_get_archives doesn’t do that–you would have to use a query and loop to do 
   that.

 * What is the proper query/loop to do what I want to do?
