 * I seriously thought I had come past the woes of learning WP, and now I have yet
   another issue. A few minutes ago, I noticed that the text on my front page (home.
   php) was repeating itself. The only thing I changed were a few things on a totally
   different page. When I look at the source code, the code for the text is there
   twice, but it is most definately only there once in my php file. Anyone know 
   what could have caused it to do this? I am so stumped!

 * Thanks for any help!

 * What does your home.php look like? Now, before you just copy it and paste it 
   here, it’ll look horrible if you do. So either make a copy of it and save it 
   as a .txt file and provide a link to it, or you can paste it in [http://pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com)
   and provide a link to that.

 * There you go!
 * I re-wrote this three times, I am clueless as to what is causing it.

 * You have put the welcome text inside the loop. Put it before the loop (=before
   the `<?php if (have_posts())`, and it won’t get repeated for every post! (And
   add code to show the posts!)

 * Ahhh, ok! Up until now, I had only one post in my blog, which I have set up on
   a different page. Why didn’t I think of that? At any rate, I wouldn’t have figured
   out how to change it anyway. Thanks!

 * I had suspected that to be the case, but wanted to see the code to confirm it
   first…. just to make sure.
 * glad the mystery is solved.
