 * I got an error when trying to make my own template:
    Parse error: parse error
   in /home/entrance/public_html/index.php on line 23 Here’s the area around line
   23: <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>”/> <?php get_archives(‘
   monthly’, ”, ‘link’); ?> <?php //comments_popup_script();> <style type=”text/
   css” media=”screen”> body,td,text,left { SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #404040; And it
   continues. The actual line 23, according to my counting, is the blank line after
   the popup script tag. I’m willing to send my entire source over email to someone
   who thinks they can take a look at it and fix any errors. This is very frustrating.

 * <?php //comments_popup_script();>
    You forgot the ‘?’ Replace with: <?php //comments_popup_script();?

 * Text pad is a nice little text editor. Among it’s features is an *add line numbers*.
   V handy here.
    No need to count down the code. Hope it helps someone. Freely 
   available on the net.
