Greenshady and Kalon,

I worked a bit with the code that Greenshady gave me and i added a bunch of posts to make sure there would be something to link to. I encountered two problems.

First, the nav links still aren’t there. Second, for some reason the footer and the sidebar appeared inside the posts area underneath them. To fix this I added a handful of </div>’s to the bottom of index.php. Any thoughts? I really appreciate the help.

Here’s the code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
$postCount = 0;
$page = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
query_posts(‘paged=$page&showposts=10&post_per_page=-1&cat=’ . get_query_var(‘cat’));
?>

<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div id=”content”>

<?php if($postcount == 0) : ?>

<div id=”latest” class=”entry”>

<div class=”clearfloat”>
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”auth”> <?php the_author() ?> </div>

<div class=”calendar”>
<?php the_time(‘l, F j Y’);?>
</div>

<span class=”frontcat”><?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> </span>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<div class=”commentcount”><p><?php comments_popup_link(‘0 Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’);?></p></div>

<script src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/FrankGBlog?i=&lt;?php the_permalink() ?>” type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″></script>

</div>
</div>

<?php elseif( $postcount > 0 && $postcount <= 3 ) : ?>

<div class=”excerpt”>
<h3>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”auth”> <?php the_author() ?> </div>

<div class=”calendar”>
<?php the_time(‘l, F j Y’);?>
</div>

<span class=”frontcat”><?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> </span>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<div class=”commentcount”><p><?php comments_popup_link(‘0 Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’);?></p></div>

<script src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/FrankGBlog?i=&lt;?php the_permalink() ?>” type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″></script>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<?php
ob_start();
echo ‘
• » ‘; the_title(); echo ‘

‘;
$links[] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php $postcount++; endwhile; ?>

<div class=”navigation-links”>
<?php posts_nav_link(”,'<span class=”previous”>« Previous Page</span>’,'<span class=”next”>Next Page »</span>’); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Hey there,

Thanks for responding. My site is FrankGazerro.com. Its not done yet but its functional (for the most part). Below I’ll paste the index.php code. Thanks for your help.

here’s the code:

<?php if (have_posts()) { ?>

<div id="content">

<?php
	$postCount = 0;
	$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	query_posts( 'paged=$page&showposts=10&post_per_page=-1&cat=' . get_query_var('cat') );
	while (have_posts()) { the_post();
		if( $postcount == 0 ) {
		//GETS LATEST POST
?>

		<div id="latest" class="entry">

			<div class="clearfloat">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

				<div class="calendar">
					<?php the_time('l');?>,
					<?php the_time('F'); ?>
					<?php the_time('j'); ?>
					<?php the_time('Y'); ?></div>

				</div>

				<p class="frontcat"><?php the_category(', ') ?> </p>

				<?php the_content(); ?>

				<div class="commentcount"><p><?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comments', '% Comments');?></p></div>

			</div>

<?php
		}
		elseif( $postcount > 0 && $postcount <= 3 ) {
		//GETS NEXT THREE EXCERPTS
		?>

		<div class="excerpt">
			<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

			<div class="calendar">
				<?php the_time('l');?>,
				<?php the_time('F'); ?>
				<?php the_time('j'); ?>
				<?php the_time('Y'); ?>
			</div>

			<p class="frontcat"><?php the_category(', ') ?> </p>

			<?php the_content(); ?>

			<div class="commentcount"><p><?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments');?></p></div>

		</div>

<?php
		}
		else {
			ob_start();
			echo '<li>&raquo; <a href="';
			the_permalink();
			echo '">';
			the_title();
			echo '</a></li>';
			$links[] = ob_get_contents();
			ob_end_clean();
		}
		$postcount ++;
		}
	}

?>

</div>
