 * Help please…I am a novice trying to build a website (and not doing a great job
   at it).
 * I tried to make a change to my function.php file to add additional posts formats
   to my theme. However I don\’t think I entered the code correctly, so when I went
   to try to fix it back to the standard, it keeps telling me I have the following
   error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/d/t/s/dtssports1/
   html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 545
 * Unfortunately I can’t even seem to access the site at all that this point to 
   try to correct it. I need help to figure out how to get it back to the standard.
   Please!!!!
 * Thank you!

 * Upload a fresh copy of the Twenty Eleven theme using FTP. Do **not** edit the
   Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access 
   to an **unedited** version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of
   site issues.
 * [Create a child theme for your customisations](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
   Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

 * please excuse me for being a complete idiot….
 * I have done that and I show in my filezilla that it is there. But now what? How
   do I access this “new version of 2011” as my theme without being able to access
   my site at all?

 * Did you remove the old twentyeleven folder and replace it with the new one?
