 * Hi All,
 * I am trying to create a custom theme to match my static site.
 * The main site is [http://hosthamster.eu](http://hosthamster.eu)
    WordPress is
   installed in the [http://hosthamster.eu/wp/](http://hosthamster.eu/wp/) folder
   and I would like it to be seamless transition between the 2 sites
 * I have successfully created the theme and I have got the header to display not
   the footer or the body of the content.
 * Please can you help

 * can you paste the full code of the index.php template of your theme into a [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here? (_[how-to](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)_)

 * that line:
 * `get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );`
 * file points to loop.php
 * – can you paste the code of loop.php ?
 * (what theme are you using a base for your custom theme?)

 *     ```
       <?php hosthamster_posted_on(); ?>
       ```
   
 * have you created/renamed that function in functions.php of your theme?
 * (you seem to be building on Twenty Ten ?)

 * Genius Thank you,
 * I had not added the functions.php I have now added it renaming the functions 
   as I had done in the index and bingo.
 * I have amended the header and the footer now to get rid of some unwanted functions
   the only thing I can not get right is the footer gradient should be full width?
 * Thanks again for your help
