Ok … i compared the layout.php to a fresh copy and they are not different. Additionaly, the file hasn’t been changed recently.

I’d rather not try the other options for fear of loosing updates, article, graphics, photos, audio files, video files,.. ect. BUT…

I’ve found an easier way out (of my “lets see what this will do” bonehead mistake) since I’m inexperienced. (*grins & laughs** … gotta love learning something new 🙂

1) Make a back up of my database at least every 2 weeks since I’m always making updates. (or sooner depending on the amount of updates made or continous ongoing updates… auto pilot features)

2) And Revert back to the previous day backup. My hosting company is helping with this (but thanks “so much” for your help 🙂

For anyone else who reads this: Don’t (make a bonehead mistake like me and) change your ‘Site URL’ or ‘Home Url’ inside the General Settings of your Dashboard to anything other than what your URL is (in fact… just leave ’em alone) …unless you want to use up all your time trying to figure out how to fix it… and also not be able to get visitors to your site.

Thank You Kindly to those who replied with info and instructions. All this stuff is new and it really sucks to make dumb mistakes but reading these forums has given me some knowledge… so don’t think your help isn’t appriciated 🙂
