Having trouple with WordPress loop…

Hey Guys,

Having some trouble getting thing to work with the loop

Here is the code I’m using. I would like

<div id="main_ss">
<?php if ( function_exists('show_nivo_slider') ) {show_nivo_slider(); } ?>
</div>

to work before the content loop because it is a sideshow for the top of the page.

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

                        <div class="entry">

                            <?php the_content(); ?>

                        </div>

                    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
                    <div id="main_ss">
                    <?php if ( function_exists('show_nivo_slider') ) { show_nivo_slider(); } ?>
                    </div>
