 * Hello, I was careless enough to copy&paste faulty code into BlueBusiness theme’s
   functions.php, and now nothing works.

 * The site is hosted on Go Daddy. Before I get a chance to log in there via FTP
   and fix the problem, can I do the same from WordPress? The error is in a file
   belonging to a theme. Maybe there’s some recovery theme-less login available?

 * FTP (or other file manager your host uses) is the only way to do that – you should
   be able to replace that file with new copy. If that doesn’t work, change the 
   name on the theme folder and WP will default to twentytwelve theme.
