   my posts on the homepage?
 * heres my news.php code
 * ‘<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 *  <div class=”chead” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <h2>” rel=”bookmark” title
   =”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
   </h2>
    <small
   ><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> <!– by <?php the_author() ?> –></small>

    <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?> 
   </div>

 * From what I can see about your directory structure, you need:
 * `include('/home/vxlabs/public_html/staff/blog-header.php');`
 * Is that what you have?

 * I got it including the file. Now it skips a line on my page [http://vxlabs.com](http://vxlabs.com)
 * the blue line isn’t suppose to be there. I can’t fix that. I think it’s something
   to do with the <p> </p> tags
