Thank you very much this has been amazing simple and handy.

You could try this as many of your php’s do not end with a ; before the ?>
Try checking over the author name etc and put in ; ?> at the end of the php codes.
You have not closed the php on line 11
<p><?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry »</p>');</p>
It should read
<p><?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry »</p>');?></p>
Thank you very much, that has worked wonderfully.
