 * im working on creating my first theme (using a video tutorial). I typed out everything
   the person said to do, yet my Loop doesnt work. When I put the code in, all that
   shows up on my site is the
 * > `<?php else : ?>`
 *  part, instead of my test posts.
 * Here is what I have. Can anyone help me out and tell me what I’m doing wrong??
   I really appreciate it! My site is [http://www.vegansutra.com](http://www.vegansutra.com),
   if you need to see the source for whatever reason
