Thanks and you’re right, if your adding php code to comments it won’t work unless you have created that feature.
So what I have done is just pasted that chunk of code on my blog temporarily. If you find it useful just copy it.

Thanks again for this great little article!

I think the code you provided got eaten in the submit process.

@Stefan If you have copied your index.php file in order to make a new template from it, the easiest way to include everything is to copy everything below the line:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> (NOTE: U MUST DELETE THIS LINE OF CODE AFTER YOUR DONE COPYING)

keep copying everything and STOP just above this line:

<?php endwhile; ?> (NOTE: U MUST DELETE THIS LINE OF CODE AFTER YOUR DONE COPYING)

Now refering back to Joshs code he kindly made for you in the comments section (By the way his code needs to go below this line): <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

and from his code just replace this line: <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

with everything you just copied and thats it.

p.s I dont know what order you going to do this in but hopefully it helps somewhat and good luck LOL.

Good, that works now. Now, the page looks a little different – post titles are no links and there are no post dates. Guess that’s because of the different query, right?
