 * Just changed to a new theme and have this footer.php error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/thehu22/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/thewebnews/footer.php(1) : eval()’d code on line 15
 * This is my footer.php file:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * My url is: [http://www.mimirbooks.com/](http://www.mimirbooks.com/)
 * Why is it asking about footer.php(1)? I only have one footer.php file.
 * Thanks,
 * Mike

 * Get rid of the theme. Any theme that uses this kind of encoding shouldn’t be 
   trusted.
