    Hey guys,

    I just thought of it be cool if I cool set a background color to the time stamp and have it change… for example if the update is less then one hour ago make the background green if the update is one hour or more make the background blue or something.. I know a simple “if else statement” should do but cant figure it out,… LOL

    Here are some hints:
    – Get the current time with `time()`, convert the post time to UNIX format with ‘strtotime()’, and subtract the two. Remember that the difference will be in seconds. You can use that for comparison.
    – Apply CSS selectors conditionally to get what you want. So, assuming that you have set `$is_more_than_one_hour` hour to true or false based on the procedure just described, do something like
    `<li class=" more-than-one-hour” id=”activity-“>`
    in your activity/entry.php file (assuming that you’re talking about activity items)
    – Then just add the proper styles in your stylesheet.
