 * I’m a newby to WordPress. I have 5 other HTML/CSS websites that I have had for
   about two years. WordPress is coninuing to frustrate the hell out of me. There
   are TOO many options!
 * I have only just, two days ago set up my wordpress site with a Thesis theme. 
   Looked cool, learning to edit it, doing ok…. then I get the
 * **Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/’account_name’/’mysite’.
   com/wp-content/themes/thesis_17/custom/custom_functions.php on line 33**
 * Now I can’t see my site, or get into my wordpress account.
 * I have modified the custom_functions.php file with SeedIt and re-uploaded it 
   with FilleZilla (which just confuses me by the way)
 * Still no love! I am spending WAY too much time trying to figure this out. Should
   have stuck with my SBI sites i think… WordPress is just way to fiddly and confusing!
 * **HELP?!?!?!?**

 * Do you have a copy of the un-amended custom_functions.php file? You could try
   dropping a copy of the file into the [WordPress pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)
   and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem
   and suggest a solution.

 * Actually, the experts over at the Thesis support forum should be able to help
   you with that. Unless times have change, support is included with every Thesis
   purchase:
