 * `<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php 
   the_title(); ?></a></h5>`
 * Most of the errors showing are from this – I feel like there is some kind of 
   nesting issue here but I don’t know how to find it. I got that code from the 
   wordpress codex so I’m assuming it’s not actually that bit of code that’s the
   problem. Any thoughts?

 * There’s also a an extra `</div>` at the bottom of index.php that makes no sense.
   I have it there because when I take it away the entire site goes haywire.

 * Something is seriously messing up my index! I found some simple issues but down
   to 3 errors with the index… it’s this bit of code –
 * `<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php 
   the_title(); ?></a></h5>`
