   I made a special template based on the index.php of the execel theme. However, it is not working and I don't know why.

   the full error is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE line 50 which is the ELSE line. I need that else in order for the template to look right.

   Here is the code.
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php
   $temp = $wp_query;
   $wp_query= null;
   $wp_query = new WP_Query();
   $wp_query->query('cat=6&showposts=3'.'&paged='.$paged);
   ?>
   
   <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   			<ul class="pmeta">
   				<li>Posted by <?php the_author() ?></li>
   				<li>On <?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></li>
   				<li><br /><?php the_category(', ') ?></li>
   				<?php if (function_exists('the_tags')) { the_tags('<li>Tags ', '</li>'); } ?>
   				<li><br /><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments' );?></li>
   				<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<li>', '</li>'); ?>
   			</ul>
   			<div class="apost">
   				<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <?php if (function_exists('get_cat_icon')) get_cat_icon('small=false'); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   				<div class="pmain">
   					<!-- spost -->
   
   <?php the_content('Read more...'); ?>
   
   					<!-- epost -->
   				</div>
   <?php if ($count==1) { ?>
   
   <!-- PLACE YOUR 468x60 ADSENSE CODE (OR BANNER) BELOW -->
   
   <!-- PLACE YOUR 468x60 ADSENSE CODE (OR BANNER) ABOVE -->
   
   <?php } ?>
   <?php $count = $count + 1; ?>
   
   			</div>
   
   			<div class="extra"></div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   			<div class="lead">
   				<span class="ppre"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Posts') ?></span>
   				<span class="pnex"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Posts &raquo;') ?></span>
   			</div>
   <?php else : ?>
   			<div class="apost">
   				<h2 class="subh">Oops!</h2>
   				<p class="nopost">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
   			</div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   		</div>
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   you use curlies to contain the 'if' conditional, but you're using the alternate syntax with a colon, on the else.

   punctuation is important.

   remove the curlies and put a : after your if.
