  Hi there, our blog at http://bespokes.com/blog seems to be experiencing problems

  Whilst posts display and plugins work, the sidebar does not show up categories or post titles at all, and posts do not show up the comments (accepted on wp-admin). Any help would be most appreciated!

  I have included the code to our theme index.php below

  [code]

  <style type="text/css">
  @import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
  </style>

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
  <meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" />

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
  <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

  <?php

  $page = "Blog";

  $baseM = "http://bespokes.com";
  $baseU = "$baseM/blog/wp-content/themes/bespokes";

  echo'<title>Bespokes | ' . $page . '</title>';

  require("../header.php");

  echo'<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="sidenav"><tr><td>';

  /* #### SIDEBAR ####

  @package WordPress
  @subpackage Bespokes

  */

  echo'

  <div id="menu">
  <ul id="sidebar">';

  if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

  <?php endif;

  echo'</div>

  </table>' . $sideBar;

  echo'</td><td>
  <table cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0" id="blogtext" height="300"><tr valign="top"><td>
  <div id="innerT">
  <div id="content">'; ?>

  <?php

  /* #### CONTENT #### */

  if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

  <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 12px;"><tr valign="top"><td>
  <span class="storytitle">" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></span>

  <i>by</i> <?php the_author() ?> <i>on</i> <?php the_date('','',''); ?></div>
  <td align="right">
  <div class="feedback">
  <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
  <?php comments_popup_link(__('<img src="'.$baseU.'/images/comment.jpg"> 0'), __('<img src="'.$baseU.'/images/comment.jpg"> 1'), __('<img src="'.$baseU.'/images/comment.jpg"> %')); ?>
  </div>
  </td></table>

  <div class="storycontent" style="font-size: 12px;">
  <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
  </div>

  <div class="meta"><?php _e("Category:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_tags(__('Tags: '), ', ', ' — '); ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>
  </div>

  <?php comments_template(); ?>

  <?php endwhile; else: ?>
  <p><?php _e('We couldn't find any posts to match your search.'); ?></p>
  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('« Newer Posts'), __('Older Posts »')); ?>

  <?php

  echo'</div></div></td></tr>

  <tr><td align="right" colspan="3">
  <div class="dark" style="padding-top: 20px; font: bold 10px verdana;">Uproar Design</div>

  </table>';

  echo'</td></tr></table>

  </td></tr></table></div>
  </div></div>';

  $bg = rand(1,2);

  echo'<img id="bg" src="'.$baseM.'/images/b1.jpg">';

  ?>
