Wordpress Custom Theme not showing all the posts of the blog [closed]

Question

I created a custom wordpress theme. Then I created a new page template called "blog." I used this to load all the posts but unfortunately it only loads one blog post.

<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"
    title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <small>on <?php the_time('M d'); ?> tagged <?php the_tags(''); ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></small>
    <?php the_content('Read More'); ?>
    <div class="separator biggap"></div>
    <?php endwhile ?>
    <div id="posts_navigation">
        <?php previous_posts_link(); ?>
        <?php next_posts_link(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php else : ?>
    <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
    <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for
    something that isn't here.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

You shuld actually do it a little but different... i presume you know how to create a Custom page template AKA:

<?php
/*
Template Name: 50 Recent
*/
?>

. Then, The loop should include the amount of posts you want to retrive like so..
(i have builg it in a list form but you change that to div's or what not)

<!--======== Main Loop ============-->
<div class="mainloop">

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

<div class="singlepost">
<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

<!--== recent posts ==-->
<ul>
<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => '50' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '" title="Look '.$recent["post_title"].'" >' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a> </li> ';
}
?>
</ul>

</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p> <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?> </p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>  

.
* You can Change the number of posts in this line:

   $args = array( 'numberposts' => '50' );

.
Or add additional arguments..

.

Hope this helps..
