This is what I have in my custom page template:
get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php global $more;$more = 0;?>
<?php the_content('More on the Artist >>'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '' ) ); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '', '' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I’m using the Starkers naked theme as a building block as I’m new to wordpress.
