Default convert old template to new template

I recently had my template changed at www.businesstrader.biz, however there are still a 3 pages that need to be coverted.
www.businesstrader.biz/addshow.php
www.businesstrader.biz/listings.php
www.businesstrader.biz/advertise.php

I have tried to convert it myself, but I keep leaving out code. All help will be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Why dont you put the orginal pages back up for now, so at least your site is functioning.
Then, work on a COPY of the page and make the change. When you have it working, then rename the GOOD page to _old and make the COPY page the original filename.

Thanks for the advise timmathews, but that is exactly what I had done. Unfortunately, I could not get the page to work. I must have been leaving out some code or something. I just could not get it to work.

Hmm...
Well, revert the page to the old for now so your site is working.

Ok This might sound a bit patronising (unintentional), but have you tried changing a bit at a time so then if something goes wrong, its easier to identify the problems?

I am also a newbie when it comes to PHP and I use this method as gospel.
