Your site doesn’t show at all. I know you aren’t convinced that it’s theme related, but it sure looks like it could be a theme issue first, then possibly other issues beyond that. The first thing to do is get the site to display again.
1) This message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/71/9048071/html/critnick/wp-content/themes/headway/header.php on line 10 means you probably really could have an issue with a bad edit or a mistake in the header.php file in the headway theme.
The easiest and quickest thing to try, might be to first make sure you have a complete backup copy of your sites files and database, then replace just the header.php file in the headway theme with a new copy of the file taken from your original backup copy of the downloaded theme.
2) If that fails, you could also try using your ftp client or the file manager in your hosts control panel to rename or remove the headway theme directory. After you do that, revisit your site at critnick.com/wp-admin, and the default WordPress theme should take over once you log back in.
That might be the extent of my suggestions of things to try at this point. If I’m not mistaken, Headway is a commercial theme. Once you get your site back up you might want to check on their support forums and see if there has been any conversation about compatibility, or any issues similar to yours.
[edit] the reason I really think it may still be a theme issue is because this still works with no error message; critnick.com/wp-admin
Thank you. I tried that, and I now get this message:

I also tried re-uploading all my missing images by FTP, with no success. I can’t switch themes because I can’t get into the site or admin at all. Thank you.
Do you have the most recent version of headway? Try reuploading it through ftp
OK, I’ve done that. What I did is to re-download the latest version of Headway into “downloads” on my computer. Then I copied the Headway file into my website file on my computer, then I uploaded the copy through FTP into wp-content themes on my site. I still see this fatal error message:
Warning: require_once(/home/content/71/9048071/html/critnick/wp-content/themes/headway/library/common/compatibility-checks.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/71/9048071/html/critnick/wp-content/themes/headway/functions.php on line 14

Cri first thing to do is to find where is this error coming from and then try to fix it.
Did you set another theme as featured for your website, lets say Twenty Twelve.
Thank you, wpplug. Could you advise me on how to get into my dashboard at all? I don’t know how to access any admin functions with things the way they are.
Go back via FTP and rename or delete the headway theme folder from your themes folder – WP will then default to twentytwelve and you should be able to login again.

Can you connect via ftp or cpanel’s file manager?
Thank you WPyogi, I went in via FTP and deleted the Headway theme folder and the Headway zip file that were in my WP content folder. Now I have a totally blank page: Not even an error message. I went to “View Source” and I get this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
Would someone please take pity on me! My WordPress site has been down for over two months. My site now displays as a blank page. I need help. Thank you.
