       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <div id="content">
         <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
         <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
           <h2>
             <?php the_title(); ?>
           </h2>
           <small><?php the_time(__('M jS, Y','branfordmagazine')); ?> | <?php _e('By','branfordmagazine');?> <?php the_author_posts_link('namefl');?>
       	<?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | ', ''); ?>
           </small>
           <div class="entry">
              <?php the_content("<p class=\"serif\">" . __('Read the rest of this page', 'branfordmagazine') ." &raquo;
