 * I am very new to wordpress and I am trying to convert a basic html layout to 
   a wordpress site. I have followed many books and forums and still running into
   certain issues.
    – none of my images are loading – the title of my post most 
   recent post loads followed by- Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_post_thumbnail()
   in /home/content/41/7378741/html/scottsword/wp-content/themes/scottsword/index.
   php on line 15 – my footer only loads when you click on my post but my post doesnt
   load.
 * I don’t know if I need to add more php code or where. If anyone could point me
   in the right direction I would REALLY appreciate it! My site is [http://www.scottsword.com](http://www.scottsword.com)
   if you want to look at the actual problem.
 * Thanks All!

 * Do you mind posting your /themes/scottsword/index.ph here so we can all have 
   a look and see where the error is ?

 * Sorry too much code, here are the links to my php files on pastbin, i broke my
   site up into three sections (following an online tutorial):
    – header.php [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/5mycQfmu](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/5mycQfmu)–
   index.php [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/pqkNWdR8](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/pqkNWdR8)–
   footer.php [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/xidi3PdE](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/xidi3PdE)
 * Again here is the link to my screen from the html in firefox: [http://www.scottsword.com/help.png](http://www.scottsword.com/help.png).
   Thanks for all the help guys, I followed a tutorial that basically had me cut
   up my html and copy/paste some php from the twenty ten theme.
 * Thanks!
