   Here is my code for get_posts...

   <?php global $post;
       $batch1= get_posts(‘numberposts=2');
       $batch2= get_posts(‘numberposts=3&offset=1');
       $batch3= get_posts(‘numberposts=5&offset=4&order=DESC&orderby=post_date’);
   ?>

   And it's spitting out this error:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/.pottier/joebrooks/joe-brooks.com/wp13/wp-content/themes/sweetnursingtheme/home.php on line 31

   Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Line 31 is:

   $batch1= get_posts(‘numberposts=2');

   Check the quotes. Make sure they are simple or double quotes, and not those ones automatically modified by word processors (like Word).

   Yes, you have fancy quotes in your code (a big no-no). Bad fancy quote (‘):

   $batch1= get_posts(‘numberposts=2');

   Fancy quote replaced with a regular quote ('):

   $batch1= get_posts('numberposts=2');

   Great thanks... now that I have that fixed another syntax error came up..

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/.pottier/joebrooks/joe-brooks.com/wp13/wp-content/themes/sweetnursingtheme/home.php on line 71

   Is there any effects that might happen if I remove "<?php endwhile; ?>" from the code?

   Considering you don't have a "while", then I'd say you don't need the "endwhile".

   That's what I thought :)
