 * I tried to edit my Two-Column Widget code in the MaxMag theme. Now i get the 
   following error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/dparadis/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/maxmag/widgets/widget-recent.php on line 64
 * I’m pretty sure the problem lies in this area of the code:
 *  <?php endwhile; ?>
 *  <?php
 *  /* After widget (defined by themes). */
    echo $after_widget; }
 *  /**
 * Can someone PLEASE HELP — MY SITE IS NOW DOWN!

 * Use an FTP app such as filezilla to connect to your site files and restore the
   theme file you edited from your last good backup. If you don’t have a backup,
   download a fresh copy of your theme to obtain the file.
