 * I wrote up a private page with text and one image. Right out of the box I get:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/twine/twineandtwig.com/
   wp-content/themes/blissful_blog/page.php on line 19
 * Any ideas on where I begin to resolve this?

 * Here’s the line:
 * <p><?php _e(‘There doesn’t seem to be any content here… yet!’); ?></p><?php endif;?

 * The problem is that the ‘ in the word doesn’t is interpreted as ending the string.
 * Either escape it like this doesn\’t or
 * Use double quotes as your string delimiter
    <?php _e(**“**There doesn’t seem 
   to be any content here…. yet!**“**); ?>

 * Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you so much – for helping a complete stranger! 🙂
   I really appreciate it!
