 * Whenever I click on the archives for a particular category I get this message:
 * “Warning: main(): Failed opening ‘./wp-includes/google.txt’ for inclusion (include_path
   =’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /hsphere/local/home/erics/estephens.org/wp-content/
   themes/letterhead/archive.php on line 4”
 * Any ideas?

 * Podz…thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I’ve changed the theme to the 
   default and it worked fine, no error, I will email Robin (the creator or the 
   letterhead theme I am using and see if she has any ideas)….very strange…

 * I use LetterHead themes and got the same problem.
    I solved it already by deleting
   the google.txt. Just currious, I try to find out what makes it happen and the
   answer is google advertising.
 * Google.txt is needed to call the google advertising at here’s the code of it :
 * <div id=”google”>
    <script type=”text/javascript”><!– google_ad_client = “pub-
   0437481905431095”; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 600; google_ad_format
   = “120x600_as”; google_ad_channel =””; google_color_border = “000000”; google_color_bg
   = “FFFF7F”; google_color_link = “0000FF”; google_color_url = “008000”; google_color_text
   = “000000”; //–></script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”[http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”&gt](http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”&gt);
   </script> </div>
