 * Hi,
    I am hosting my website with Evohosting and have used their automatic wordpress
   install. They directed me here for help.
 * I have been trying to add social media buttons to my header.
    I was following
   a tutorial on how to add a header widget area and was adding some code to the
   the function.php and I am now unable to access the dashboard and instead get 
   this message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/denisehu/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/sketch/functions.php on line 119
 * I had copied the original function.php text and pasted it back in thinking that
   it would resolve the issue – but I am still getting the same message. what should
   I do?
    Any help or suggestions very much appreciated. Denise

   can download it here:
