   I'm trying to create a tumblelog based on these instructions at Openswitch and I can't even get past the first bit of code. I am using a slightly modified version of the Tiny theme, which I'd like to modify further into a tumblelog format.

   My index looks like this:
   

   <?php
   // index.php
   // Tiny theme for WordPress
   // Copyright (C) 2005 Ben de Groot
   // Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
   
   get_header();
   // Check if the sitemap is requested
   if ( isset($_GET['sitemap']) ) {
   	include('sitemap.php');
   
   } else {
   
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   
   ?>
   
   <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link','bnTiny'); ?>: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
   <p class="posted"><?php the_date('', '', ' at', TRUE); ?> <?php the_time(); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link( __('No Comments','bnTiny'), __('1 Comment','bnTiny'), __('% Comments','bnTiny') ); ?>
   
   <?php edit_post_link($link = __('Edit','bnTiny'), $before = ' | ', $after = ''); ?></p>
   
   <?php the_content(); ?><br />
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <p class="nav"><span class="prev"><?php posts_nav_link( '', '', __('« Previous Entries','bnTiny') ) ?></span>
   
   <span class="next"><?php posts_nav_link( '', __('Next Entries »','bnTiny'), '' ) ?></span></p>	
   
   <?php else: ?>
   
   <p><?php _e('Sorry, nothing found.','bnTiny'); ?></p>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php
   
   }
   
   get_footer(); ?>

   I am trying to paste the first conditional code:
   

   <?php if ( in_category(4) && !is_single() ) : ?>
   
   <div class=“post”>
   
   <span class=“permalink”> <a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=“bookmark” title=“Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”>¶</a></span>
   
   <div class=“post_body”>
   
   <div class=“conversation”>
   
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   
   </div>
   
   </div>
   
   </div>

   in there somewhere but no matter where I put it I come up with a syntax error. I don't know a whole lot about PHP but I thought I knew more than this. Help please!

   The easiest way to create your own tumblelog with WordPress is to use Sandbox. But there are other, pre-packaged, tumblelog themes out there that are super easy to use.

   I prefer to tweak the theme I am already using.

   What kind of syntax error? Post the error here.

   From what I can see, you have those WordPress "curly" quotes or whatever in that second bit of code. See:

   <div class=“post”>

   See those slanted quote marks? That might be your problem.

   Here is the error:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/rulebrit/public_html/wp-content/themes/tiny/index.php on line 67

   and this is what my code looks like:
   

   <?php
   
   // index.php
   
   // Tiny theme for WordPress
   
   // Copyright (C) 2005 Ben de Groot
   
   // Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
   
   get_header();
   
   // Check if the sitemap is requested
   
   if ( isset($_GET['sitemap']) ) {
   
   	include('sitemap.php');
   
   } else {
   
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   
   ?>
   
   <!— conversation —>
   
   <?php if ( in_category(4) && !is_single() ) : ?>
   
   <div class="post">
   
   <span class="permalink"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">¶</a></span>
   
   <div class="post_body">
   
   <div class="conversation">
   
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   
   </div>
   
   </div>
   
   </div>
   
   	<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link','bnTiny'); ?>: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php
   
       the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
   	<p class="posted"><?php the_time('j F Y'); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link( __('No Comments','bnTiny'), __('1 Comment','bnTiny'), __('% Comments','bnTiny') ); ?>
   
   	<?php edit_post_link($link = __('Edit','bnTiny'), $before = ' | ', $after = ''); ?></p>
   
   	<?php the_content(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   	<p class="nav"><span class="prev"><?php posts_nav_link( '', '', __('« Previous Entries','bnTiny') ) ?></span>
   
   	<span class="next"><?php posts_nav_link( '', __('Next Entries »','bnTiny'), '' ) ?></span></p>
   
   <?php else: ?>
   
   	<p><?php _e('Sorry, nothing found.','bnTiny'); ?></p>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php
   
   }
   
   get_footer(); ?>

   Basically I am just trying to post that second snippet right inside The Loop, but no matter where I post it I get a syntax error.

   Quickly looking at this (I'll stop back by tonight when I can look at it better), it looks like you need another:

   <?php endif; ?>

   before your endwhile.
