Posts not showing on custom theme

I themed my own wordpress yesterday and now posts won’t show on my index.php. It only shows the not found message and a search box.

this is the code i use.

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

				<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

				<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

				<p><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
				</div>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries'); ?> | <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;'); ?>

				<?php else : ?>

				<h2>Not Found</h2><br />

				<p align="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

				<?php get_search_form(); ?>
