 * I am having two problems trying to get a custom template to work on my website
   @ [http://www.bleikamp.com.](http://www.bleikamp.com.)
    1. I cannot get posts
   to show up on the main page at all. I don’t understand why, I have been working
   for 3 hours and looking through the forums. What I did was copy the div class“
   post” from the original template and inserted that into my design, then I uploaded
   that as the index.php. I have been trying everything I can think of and nothing
   seems to work. 2. I get this error on the main page: Database error: [You have
   an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL 
   server version for the right syntax to use near ‘AND comment_approved = ‘1” at
   line 1] SELECT COUNT(comment_ID) FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = AND
   comment_approved = ‘1’; Any help wuold be great.

 * Did you copy the lines from the top of the original template into your design?
   The lines that say “do not remove this…” ?
