Hi!

I need some help to make a template so I can see all my posts at a specific page. The code I been written dosent work at all it looks like this

<?php $ppp=2; ?>
<?php $theOffset = $ppp * $paged; ?>

<?php query_posts(‘posts_per_page=$ppp&post_type=post&offset=$theOffset’); ?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php echo ‘<div class=”contentBox”>’; ?>
<?php echo'<h2>’; the_title(); echo'</h2>’; ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php echo'</div>’; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php next_posts_link() ?>

post_per_page dosent work and not the <?php next_posts_link() ?> either.

I also want to have the comments fields and a link to previous posts.

can someone please help?
