 * hi there,
    i was hoping someone could help me with something that i’m sure is
   very straightforward allthough i have searched and googled but can’t find the
   information i’m looking for.
 * basically i have recently changed themes and in my old theme was using a custom
   functions.php that a friend wrote for me to handle recent comments. my new theme
   allready has a functions.php so i need to add the info from the old one into 
   the new one but don’t know where to put it. i tried just slapping it in the bottom
   but this killed my blog 😉
 * i can post the contents of the files if that would help, or if anyone knows somewhere
   that details how the functions.php should be laid out and added to…
 * i would be very greatful for any help,
    many thanks, xxsxx
