I am creating a WordPress theme from scratch using Bootstrap. In my index file i have left the sample post and then i am looping through and trying to see if there is another post present. Doing this i am getting an error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'else' (T_ELSE) in C:\wamp\www\wordpress-bootstrap\bootstrap\wp-content\themes\wpbootstrap\index.php on line 49
The code is :
<!--we have left the first blog post here and removed the next two now we are wrapping a loop around it .
now we are trying to check if there are blog posts. -->
<?php if(have_posts());?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="blog-post">
<h2 class="blog-post-title">Sample blog post</h2>
<p class="blog-post-meta">January 1, 2014 by <a href="#">Mark</a></p>
<p>This blog post shows a few different types of content that's supported and styled with Bootstrap. Basic typography, images, and code are all supported.</p>

Any Help will be appriciated. Thank You In Advance.
You have a typo in your if() statement, it should be:
<?php if(have_posts()): ?>
You had ; instead of :.
