                       <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h2><br/>
                    <b class="meta">Posted On <?php the_date(); ?></b><ul><li><?php the_content('read more'); ?></li></ul>

                           <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('Comments'); ?></a> 
                    </div>  <!--end of numComments-->                         
                    
                   
                 
                <?php endwhile; ?>
                
                <?php else : ?>
                    <p>I'm not sure what you are looking for!</p>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    
                                     
                </div>    <!-- end of contentbox-->
