 * Do you have an original unedited copy of `wp-content/themes/pinboard/functions.
   php` file? The fastest way to fix that error is to put the original unedited 
   version back via [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file
   management application your host provides.

 * You don’t want to edit that `functions.php` file at all just extract the original
   unedited version from the theme’s ZIP archive and upload that as-is.
 * Once you’re up and running again then consider creating a child theme and place
   your edits in the child theme’s `functions.php` file. That way if your Pinboard
   theme gets updated then you will not lose your changes.
