 * Hi Folks,
 * I’m new at this, so please forgive my complete stupidity.
 * I’m trying to build a site for a film project. Very simple. Nothing too fancy.
   Home page with a logo/header, below that a navigation menu, then a video and 
   some blur beneath that. One column, no side bars, very simple.
 * The other pages basically containing info and a few photos.
 * I installed a theme, managed to upload my header image, then whilst trying to
   reshuffle the theme about (by deleting bits of code) I somehow managed to accidentally
   delete something important, and now all of the original theme has disappeared.
 * I’m left with this….

 * I’ve spent a couple of days trying to install a navigation bar under the logo,
   installed numerous widgets, but I just can’t get anything to work.
 * Should I a) delete the whole thing and start again? (If so, how do I do that?)
   
   or b) Is there a simple way of putting up the navigation bar? I’ve followed various
   youtube tutorials and always seem to get lost when it comes to editing code. 
   Nothing seems to work.
 * Help me Obi Won Kenobi, you’re my only hope.
 * Thank you
    David

 * Blimey! I couldn’t even post a link without cocking it up.

 * Were you modifying the theme when you did the reshuffling? If not (e.g if you
   used a Child Theme) then you can just install the theme again just like you installed
   it to begin with.

 * OP, install a new / fresh theme (or use one of the defaults that come with WordPress,
   such as twenty twelve) and customize it from within the WP Dashboard. You can
   do this under Appearance > Customize.
 * More than likely, you deleted a part of the code that you shouldn’t have. No 
   biggie, your content is safe, just get a fresh theme. Not worth trying to fix!

 * Thanks Gents. You’re right Tom, I did delete a bit of code I shouldn’t have touched.
   Although I can install a new theme, I can’t seem to get the old one (Vertigo)
   back up and running. So I’ve basically had to start again.
 * Ho hum. You live and learn.
 * Thanks again
    David
