 * I’m having a bit of a problem adding the if, else statement to my loop so that
   I can display differently based on the post format. Can anyone see the error 
   in my code?
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
                   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                       if ( has_post_format( 'status' )) {
                           <h3><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                           <span class="postmeta">Published on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span>
       	                <?php the_content(); ?>
       	            }
                       else {
                           <h3><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                           <span class="postmeta">Published on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span>
                           <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                           <p><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="Continue reading">Continue reading</a></p>
                       }
                   <?php endwhile; ?>
                   <?php else : ?>
                       Nothing Found Stuff goes here
                   <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * at first glance: gotta wrap your PHP code in `<?php .. ?>` tags
 *     ```
       <?php if ( has_post_format( 'status' )) { ?>
       ```
   
 * …
 *     ```
       <?php }
                       else { ?>
       ```
   
 * …
 *     ```
       <?php } ?>
       ```
