Custom theme display

    I’m working on a custom theme that exists as a two-page spread. The left hand page is meant to show a scrolling list (Oldest first) of all post titles, while the right page displays the selected content.

    <div id="chapters">
    <!-- Display Posts By Title -->
    <?php query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=date&order=ASC'); ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <p>"><?php the_title(); ?></p>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <!-- Display Posts By Title -->
    </div>

    This code works fine on index.php, which displays static content on the right page. However, when I use that same snippet in the single.php file, it only shows a link to the currently viewed content when I want it to show all posts

    In addition, I pulled this code from the twentyten single.php to display the single post content:
    <?php get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘single’ ); ?>
    but no post content actually displays.

    I have a feeling that I’m missing something for that section of the php, so if anyone has an answer to these issues, or can point me in the direction of one, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello there,
    The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We cannot cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com. The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
    This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

    There are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge.

    As you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

    You appear to be referring to a WordPress.org install and we provide support on this forum only to those who have free hosted WordPress.com blogs. All other must post to http://wordpress.org/support
