 * I tried putting in a code on my theme editor page and now I only get this: Parse
   error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/c420/public_html/wp-content/themes/
   bluespot/functions.php on line 23
 * So I can’t even go in my website because it only shows this. Can someone help?
   Thanks.

 * FTP into your site’s server and rename your current theme folder. That should
   automatically activate the default theme and allow you to access your site.
 * If you then place a copy of your theme’s functions.php file in the [WordPress pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/)
   and paste the resulting url here, people may be able to pinpoint the error.
