    Looking to have a custom static page with a full size picture and links.

    Website: davec.fm
    To start I have done the following:
    -Brand new website with 2011 theme
    -I’ve created two pages (My Front & Blog)
    -Pointed the Static page to My Front in Settings/Reading
    -Created a simple html.php file with one image. (see code below)
    -Transfered the php file to appropriate theme folder thus creating
    My Front
    -Transfered the png image to the image folder.

    Where have I gone wrong?

    ‘<?php /* Template Name: My Front
    */?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;
    <html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”&gt;
    <html> * <head>
    <title>davec.fm</title> * </head>
    <body>
    <p style=”text-align:center”/>
    <img src=”davec/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/images/myfront.png” alt=”myfront” />
    </body> * </html>’

    * indicates where tag should be in the line below. Forum only allows 10 lines of code.

    The big mystery when checked with validatorW3.org is the DOCTYPE. Which one should I be using? The initial one had xml.
    Do I have this code all wrong? And if so, can someone send me a sample?
    Thanks for reading. Hope someone can help.
