   Hello, I'm trying to make my own WP template, seems to be going well except when I click on the title link of a blog post (which I think should take me to the permanent location for the post) it says 'page not found'

   I think my code <a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>“><?php the_title(); ?></a> is correct, but maybe not?

   <div id="blogroll" style="border: 1px solid white;">
   			<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   				<?php if (!in_category('welcome')) {?>
   				<p class="dotted"><?php the_date(); ?></p>
   				<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   					<a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>“><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   					<div class="entry">
   						<?php the_content(); ?>
   						<p class="postmetadata">
   						<?php _e('Filed under:'); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> <?php  the_author(); ?><br />
   						<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | ', ''); ?>
   				</p>
   					</div>

   Where's the end of the <?php if (!in_category('welcome')) {?> if loop? I'd also suggest you get rid of the angled doubel-quotes:

   <a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>“><?php the_title(); ?></a>

   It should be:

   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

   Thanks, I got rid of the angled quotes..

   Here is the full code: `<div id="blogroll" style="border: 1px solid white;">
   <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php if (!in_category('welcome')) {?>
   <p class="dotted"><?php the_date(); ?></p>
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   “><?php the_title(); ?>
   <div class="entry">
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <p class="postmetadata">
   <?php _e('Filed under:'); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> <?php the_author(); ?>
   <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | ', ''); ?>
   </p>
   </div>
   </div>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <div class="navigation">
   <?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>`

   Is there a template file that WP looks for when you click on a blog title (which links to the permalink) ?

   Thanks!
