I need some help with WordPress, I tried to make a site from scratch. And well, it didn’t work… at all. I was using the “How to make … from Scratch” tutorial on NetTuts, and I followed it and it didn’t work.
I really need some help.
Here is my code:index.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<p><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> at <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <?php comments_number('No comment', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?></p>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<h2>Woops...</h2>
<p>Sorry, no posts we're found.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
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>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<meta content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<link href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.4.1.js" language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.lwtCountdown-0.9.5.js" language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id="middle">
<br /><br /><br /><br />
<div id="banner">
<div id="title"></div>
</div>
</div></body></html>
footer.php
<div id="footer">
<!-- Please leave this line intact -->
<p>Design by <a href="http://www.jholstein.com">Jeremy Holstein</a><br />
<!-- you can delete below here -->
© <?php the_time('Y'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?><br />
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Grab the feed</a></p>
</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. If you go to my site (www.jholstein.com) it says there is an error on line 3. By the way, line 3 in index.php is
<?php get_header(); ?>.
Please help.

Thank you. I did not know that since the tutorial mentioned nothing of the like.

I did that. And now also made a folder for it, and it shows it in the Manage Themes thing. But it says that it is broken, that it doesn’t have a style sheet. But it does. I don’t know what to do.
I wish the tutorial had better info.

I had it in its own folder like it should and I got the error. I checked the default theme and the style sheet was in the root folder of the theme so I did the same, yet it still didn’t work.
But now I’m at school and can’t really move the files around until I get home.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that actually tells you exactly what to do? Because that NetTuts tutorial was horrible.

Or is there anywhere I can get a completely working theme t hat has everything. That is very basic that I can just use to make my own theme ontop of? Pretty much a base template to work off of. Is there any being sold on here?
