    Newbie. Completely lost. When I activate the theme I tried to code, a wonderful blank page shows up for my blog.

    I read the tutorial here, but changed some things around for my liking…that may be the problem…

    I’m not sure what’s wrong here.

    The header.php…


    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"&gt;
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats please -->

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
    @import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
    </style>

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />

    <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=weekly&format=link'); ?>
    <?php comments_popup_script(400, 500); ?>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>

    <body>
    <div class="head">
    <img src="http://www.kentonngo.com/750volts/wp-content/themes/seeing-blue/banner.PNG"&gt;
    </div>
    <!-- end header -->

    and the main.php


    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <div class="main">

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

    <?php the_date(", '<div class="dateheader">', '</div>'); ?>

    <div class="post">
    <font class="posttitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?"><?php the_title(); ?>
    </font>
    <br>
    <font class="dateheader"><?php the_date(l, F jS, Y); ?>
    <br>
    Trackback: <?php trackback_url(display); ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Permalink</a>
    </font>
    <br>
    <?php the_content("Continue reading " . the_title('', '', false)); ?>
    <font class="postfooter">
    Posted by <a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email(); ?>"><?php the_author_nickname(); ?></a> at <?php the_time(h:i:s A); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Comments (0)', 'Comments (1)', 'Comments (%)'; ?>">
    </font>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php posts_nav_link(' - ', __('� Previous Page'), __('Next Page �')); ?>
    </div>

    <div class="sidebar">
    <?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
    <hr>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
    <hr>
    Categories<br>
    <?php wp_list_cats('hierarchical'); ?>
    <hr>
    Archives<br>
    <ul>
    <?php get_archives('monthly', '', 'html', '', '', FALSE); ?>
    </ul>
    <div id="search">
    <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER[�PHP_SELF�]; ?>">
    <div>
    <input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="15" />
    <input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Search'); ?>" />
    </div>
    </form>
    </div>
    </div>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    and the footer.php…


    <hr />
    <div id="footer">

    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> is proudly powered by
    <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a&gt;
    <!-- <?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->

    </div>

    <?php do_action('wp_footer'); ?>

    </body>
    </html>

    and the style.css…

    p:first-letter {

    What did I do wrong? Please help…
