# Asides issue

 * Hi, I am trying to install Matt’s asides on my blog. Everytime I change my php,
   save the file, and go to my page, I get a blank screen.
    I tried the hints in
   this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/115785?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/115785?replies=6)
   and it didn’t help. Can someone please take a look and see where I might be going
   wrong? Thanks! I am putting in bold the changes that I added, as according to
   the Asides tutorial.

 * You’re getting a blank page because there is a php error.
 * See the line that goes
 *     ```
       <?php //if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) :
       <?php  <-- remove this one
       ```
   
 * Remove the second <?php on line 8. Then remove the second ?> in line 18
 *     ```
       ?>  <--this one goes too
       the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * That’s a start and there might be more. Once you get a non-blank page then work
   it from there.
