Thanks! That was too many <ul>
s but I played around with it and changed
if (!$start_loop && $curr_date != $old_date) {
echo "
</ul>
<ul>
“;
to
if (!$start_loop && $curr_date != $old_date) {
echo "
</li>
</ul>
“;
and
the_date('F j','
<li>
‘,’</li>
‘);
to
the_date('F j','
<li>
‘,’<ul>
‘);
and got what I wanted.
