1. The Loop
Adding even more functionality...

2. What is the loop?
• The Loop is used by WordPress to display
each of your posts. Using The Loop,
WordPress processes each of the posts to
be displayed on the current page and
formats them according to how they match
specified criteria within The Loop tags.

3. <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

4. <?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

5. <h2>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS,Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>

6. <div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
</div>

7. <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?>
<strong>|</strong>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit','','<strong>|</strong>'); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
