Recent posts on top…was working, but not for new post

Try using:

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'showposts' => 5,
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>

Thanks…it seemed to work, although that same post is still on the bottom. I tried a test post and it posted on top, although now there’s another issue that has come up before…

The posts start to smash into each other and look unorganized. Do you know how I can fix this?

You have some validation errors – including some missing closing </div> tags that need fixing.

Is this supposed to be on the index.php for the theme? Nothing seems to match up and there’s no lines up to 939. Where do I find these?

Yes

Where do I find these?

On the validation page, tick “Show Source” then Revalidate. as well as the errors, the validator will output a line-numbered copy of the source code that you can use to identify the problem markup.

My file of the index.php looks nothing like what’s on the validation page.

The file I’m looking for should be under the current theme folder, right?

The validation shows the page output (displayed page). On the front page, it’s normally comprised of header.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php. So you need to start working backwards to identify what errors are in which files.
