 * Hello,
 * I am currently attempting to create a new theme off of the existing twenty eleven
   theme. So far everything is going along well until I try to replace the single.
   php page with my custom divs for styling the single posts. It seems that no matter
   what I do to the single page it has absolutely no effect on the styling of the
   page. This is true even if I completely break the code, the page still appears
   to load.
 * Is it possible that the single blog posts are pulling their page from a different
   file than single.php?
 * Thanks!

 * Almost I have the same problem…
 * I created different single.php files to have different styles pf post categories
   on home ^page … but I just worked with the category page not on the home .

 * what i have done when porting a theme to WordPress was that i included the loop
   in single.php and then used the_permalink() in index.php which calls single.php
   and so i can included what ever information i want about the post in single.php.
   i get listing of post in my home page and then when i click a particular post
   that post is rendered with the help of the_permalink(0 and single.php.
