 * I was messing around with some things and I don’t know what I did, but I’m getting
   this error and cannot access my blog:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/12/10732112/html/wp-
   content/themes/luscious/functions.php on line 22
 * I’m a brand new WordPress user and I’m totally lost. Please help me. Preferably
   using small words that a monkey could understand.
 * I do know how to get into my control panel, at least. Once I’m there though I
   feel like someone just asked me to defuse a bomb.
 * HELP.

 * Did you save a backup of your functions.php file? If so, you can upload the unaltered
   version to get your site up and running.
 * If you didn’t save a backup, you can download a fresh copy of the theme and then
   upload the unaltered functions.php.

 * I think I did that right.
 * If I can’t copy and paste I think I should just stay off the internet.

 * Ok. I just created a new version here [http://pastebin.com/64Y230nP](http://pastebin.com/64Y230nP).
   Now you will copy the code from there and replace your old code of functions.
   php file and upload on your server.
    ** Note: First you will keep a backup of
   your file

 * I was working directly in the wp-admin on theme function. Before I started I 
   copied and pasted everything there into a text file, thinking if anything went
   wrong I could just copy and paste it back.
 * I.Was.Wrong.
 * So no, I didn’t save a backup of that actual file. Live and learn I guess. *sigh*
