 * Hello,
 * I was trying to change the default font color to my wordpress theme, and copy
   and pasted a line of code at the end of this section then deleted it:
 *  array( “name” => “Custom CSS Code”,
    “desc” => “In case you want to modify the
   CSS of the theme, you can write your code here.”, “id” => $shortname.”_custom_css”,“
   type” => “textarea”, “std” => “” ),`
 * Now I’m receiving this error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘, expecting‘)’
   in /home/content/28/7648828/html/wp-content/themes/celtabusiness/lib/theme-options.
   php on line 37
 * Line 37 is currently blank. Please help!!

 * I don’t know the rest of your code but if that is the end of the statement there
   should be a ; instead of , after the close brackets (unless you have an array
   within an array then it should be a comma ,)?
 * also your last line of code is “std” => “” ),`what is the tidle` doing as the
   last character in the last line? I don’t think php uses `
