 * Hi,
 * I published a new blog post today and somehow messed up my site. This is the 
   message I get: “Parse error, syntax error unexpected ‘/’ in home/contest/77/10036877/
   html/wp-contest/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 612′
 * I’ve had a similar problem before, so I went to FTP and opened the functions.
   php file. The problem is–I don’t know what to correct or delete. It’s also very
   difficult to read in notepad since it’s so wide. I have no idea where line 612
   is. Any suggestions for me?
 * Thanks!

 * It seems to be working for me right now. Could it be a host issue. Someone else
   here on the forum just posted about their host being down

 * I am with [@songdogtech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) on
   this but remember posting about hosts rides a fine line and more than likely 
   will result in a topic being closed.
