Yea! Now I'm trying to customize it to fit my needs more. My clients wants the post excerpt to show after the title. I used the code found on the WP docs to display the excerpt but rather than pulling the excerpt of the post your code is pulling it's pulling the first post shown on the page. I added: <?php the_excerpt(); ?> Can you help me with this? Thanks   Hi again,

I'm trying to add a thumbnail from each post, but I can't seem to get it to load them properly, only the last post on the list.

Would it be possible to put this as a text file download link, so that the formatting is correct? It does not work on my site - it just doesn't display anything at all.
