[Russell Adams <RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.Com>]

I started tinkering, this being my first macro.

I can't say its behaving as I expected.

(defun my-daily-insertion
  (interactive)
  (beginning-of-buffer)
  (re-search-forward "DAILY-INSERTION-POINT")
  (forward-line -1)
  (insert "*** " (format-time-string "%Y%m%d" (current-time)) )
)

I'd welcome input.
