 * How do i have wordpress show posts from a date range, say, the last 3 days, as
   opposed to the last 3 posts?
 * Can this happen?

 * This code in [your loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) will print ‘this
   post is within my date limit’ if the post date is within the last 3 days:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $mylimit= 3 * 86400; //days * seconds per day
       $post_age = date('U') - get_post_time('U');
       if ($post_age <= $mylimit) {
       echo 'this post is within my date limit ';
       }
       ?>
       ```

               <br clear="all" />
               <div class="excerpt"><?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?></div>
           </div>
           <div class="filed">Filed under <?php the_category(', ') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> </div>
           <span class="spacer"></span>
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
       <?php endif; ?>
           </div>
       ```
   
 * So if this is my loop on home.php – then the code goes where?
