 * Hi all,
 * After searching for a plug-in that would allow me to list all category names 
   and number of posts in each, I came across a piece of code that was supposed 
   to be added to the functions.php – well … needless to say I had obviously done
   in incorrect, as now I’m getting an parsing error in the file and can’t view 
   or do anything with the blog at all.
 * Will I be able to fix this simply by uploading and overwriting the functions.
   php file?
 * Thanks so much,
    Jennifer

 * Yes. Just make sure it’s the same one that came with your theme. 🙂
