 * Does this version of the code do anything?
 * > <div id=”navigation”>
   >  <!– Start of Navigation –>
   >  <div class=”nav_title”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/wp-content/themes/
   > drunkloser/images/last-posts.jpg” alt=”Last Posts” /></div>
    -  <?php
       $posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5’); foreach($posts as $post) : ?>
    - 
    -  <?php endforeach; ?>
 *  <div class=”nav_title”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/wp-content/themes/
   drunkloser/images/archives.jpg” alt=”Archive” /></div>
    -  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&show_post_count=0’); ?>
 *  <div class=”nav_title”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/wp-content/themes/
   drunkloser/images/links.jpg” alt=”Links” /></div>
    -  <?php wp_get_links(1); ?>
 * <table valign=top align=middle><tr><td>
    “><IMG SRC=”
   [http://jerseyshor3.com/images/jerseysurvey.gif&#8221](http://jerseyshor3.com/images/jerseysurvey.gif&#8221);
   BORDER=0 ALT=””></td></tr></table>
 * <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
    || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?> 
   <?php endif; ?>
 * <!– End of Navigation –>
    </div>
 * Don’t forget you need to have a file called functions.php in your theme directory
   with a register_sidebar call (as described in the documentation). Also in your
   dashboard, you need to actually put some widgets in your sidebar in order to 
   see any difference.
 * Copying your code seems to make some errors more visible.
