# Parse error:syntax error, unexpected '}'

 * I activated WordPress Content Slide Plugin and added media. Watched You Tube 
   Video describing how to activiate the slider. Instructions were: to diplay wordpress
   content on your website add following lines of code inside your themes.php files.
 * <?php if(function_exists(‘wp_content_slider’)) { wp_content_slider() } ?>
 * I went into editor, found themes, and HTML code. I am DEFINITELY NOT AN HTML 
   Coder so this is all greek to me. I found the first line of code that read:
    
   <?php
 * So I thought this was the right line and I added in the code above after the 
   <?php starting with if(function_exists etc.
 * as soon as I said update I immediately got the following error message and it
   will not let me get back into my website as admin to fix it.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/brmosena/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/twentyeleven/inc/theme-options.php on line 260
 * Now I have no idea how to fix this and what I should have typed in to active 
   my screen slider.
