 * Whatever is on line 522, look up a few lines and makes sure you terminated the
   new line of code with a semi-colon.
 * Have a look here:
 *     ```
       1. $var1 = 0;
       2. $var2 = 1
       3. $var3 = 2;
       ```
   
 * In the above example, Line 2 needs a semi-colon, or an “unexpected T_VARIABLE”
   error will appear and the whole thing will fail.

 * My suggestion is based on actual code editing, but since you can’t log in at 
   all I suspect something has gone horribly wrong.
 * You may want to restore from a recent backup from before the plugin was installed.
   Then contact the plugin developer, or pay their [support forum](http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com/forum/)
   a visit to see why their code knocked your whole blog offline…
