Hey all-
I recently launched my new and improved website on the first of the year. I had a handcoded blog setup thinking that I would just code each entry. Well, that lasted long! I've gotten tired of updating numerous files each time I post a new article. So that led me to WordPress. I've heard it's a great CMS and valid (very important to me) so I downloaded. Well I got it up on my server and webpage alright and since I've never used PHP or WP before, I read Jonathon Wold's tutorial (http://www.jonathanwold.com/tutorials/wordpress_theme/) to figure out how to make my own template. It took awhile but I got the template to match fairly similar to my web site (still a few bugs to work out). But for some reason my sidebar won't show up. It get a parse error that states:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /home/content/T/r/e/Trekracing/html/blog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 74
My blog is located at http://www.chrisdire.com/blog
Realize that it is far from final, but this seems to be the biggest problem thus far, so I want to get it taken care of.
Here is my sidebar.php file:
<div class="rightColumnContainer">
<div class="rightColumn ulMargin">
<div id="sidebar">
<ul>
<li>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</li>
<!-- Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.
<li><h2>Author</h2>
<p>A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview.</p>
</li>
-->
<li>
<?php if ( is_404() || is_category() || is_day() || is_month() ||
is_year() || is_search() || is_paged() ) {
?> <li>
<?php /* If this is a 404 page */ if (is_404()) { ?>

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
