    In attempting to implement a dynamic sidebar on my blog so I can use the widget plugin, I get a strange parse error on line 90. Line 90 isn’t even a line near the code to make the sidebar dynamic, but when I take that code out, the site works again. Can anyone help please?

    If you’d like to toss your code in a pastebin (one is http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/) and then give us a link, someone could take a link.

    A link to the site in question may be helpful too.

    so sorry, new to wordpress. here’s the code.

    function.php also contains the code:

    <?php
    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar();
    ?>

    thanks for the help!

    Between line 83 and 84, just before the </div>, add this:
    <?php endif; ?>

    The reason is this bit of code:
    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
    || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

    That is basically saying to display the widget sidebar if it’s enabled, but if it’s not, display the following default sidebar code instead. You need the endif to tell it where the end of the default sidebar code is.
