 * I got the little yellow triangle on the bottom left hand page saying
 * Line:2
    Char:1 Error: Syntax Error Code:0 URL: [http://www.thesilentdesert.net/](http://www.thesilentdesert.net/)
 * It’s making me think it’s a small error. The only thing I’ve done to the code
   is added images for ads and I’m sure I went to the bottom of the code, hit return
   a few times, then pasted the code for the ad. I’ve never inserted any code inside
   the php files. Believe me, I’l blown up enough WP themes messing with code. =
   O
 * Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? The error is making the WP dashboard
   at the top not show, and also my ads on the bottom don’t show.
 * Thanks for any help.
