    Hi

    This is a bit of simple question, i have been building my own theme from scratch and so far it’s been straight forward.

    I am stuck on one thing.

    On my homepage i am displaying the latest 3 posts in a feature box that i have styled with css. When rendered the posts should sit in it’s own box that is positioned horizontally across the bottom.

    Now i want to style these boxes and all is good except I keep getting “> at the end of my posts. How can I fix it?

    Here is the code:

    <div class="featureBox-wrapper-<?php query_posts('showposts=3');
 if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>"></div>
<div class="feature-wrapper"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="featureBox"><?php the_excerpt(); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read the rest of <?php the_title(); ?>" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry </a>
</div><!--/entry-->

<?php endwhile; endif; ?></div>

    Also i want to learn how to use html tags with wordpress template tags..does that make sense? Is there a useful resource I can read? Is this done using “echo”?

    Many Thanks 🙂

    Try:

    <div class="featureBox-wrapper>
<?php query_posts('showposts=3');
 if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 </div>
<div class="feature-wrapper">
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="featureBox">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read the rest of <?php the_title(); ?>" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry </a>
</div>
<!--/entry-->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
