 * I have just installed NewsNow theme. Trying to lose the adverts from under the
   Feature Content Gallery (the slideshow of my posts).
 * Naturally my first move was to delete the <div class=”box_ads”><?php include (
   TEMPLATEPATH . “/sponsors.php”); ?></div> from the index.php file.
 * What I got was this…
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/anarcho/public_html/index.
   php on line 1
 * Tried using <!– !–> but this had the same effect.
 * is this something to do with nested divs or something?
 * my url is anarcho-capitalist.org
 * i’m running out of beer…
