The the_date() function only outputs the date for the first time it is called for each date (so that there's only one indication of the day for two posts on the same day). But when this is the case, the link is still created around nothing (which I even think will break HTML validation, something some people value much). The solution to the solution would this be something like: <code>the_date('', "<div class=\"posted-date\"><h2><a title=\"Permanent link to" . get_the_time(’F j, Y’)."\" href=\"" . get_day_link(get_the_time(’Y'),get_the_time(’m'),get_the_time(’d'))."\">", '</a></h2></div>');</code> which is: using the the_date template tag with its parameters "before" and "after" adequately set. This way, when two posts share the same date, the second (and subsequent) to appear doesn't(/don't) bear the date nor an link without text.
