 * I am a total amateur at developing a website, but I was three quarters of the
   way done when this happened:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home3/heatoo/public_html/classicgaugeandcluster.
   com/wp-content/themes/bootstrap-basic/inc/BootstrapBasicMyWalkerNavMenu.php on
   line 121
 * I had another WordPress blog, so I downloaded the same theme on it to copy/paste
   the exact page I was working on from the Bootstrap Basic theme, which was the
   NavMenu.php in Editor. It still gave me the same error. I know for a fact that
   all I did was accidentally delete the final code of } on the last line at the
   very bottom on accident. After that all I get is the code above. Now I have no
   way of logging back in.
 * Does this mean that I will have to start ALL over again? I might cry if that’s
   the case!
 * Please help me out..I am so stressed.

 * The one I downloaded from HostGator. I guess it’s .org. The one everyone uses
   for creating blogs and websites.

 * Hostgater control your FTP access, can you talk to them about re-uploading your
   theme?
