 * I was changing some of the code in the header for google’s web master tools and
   then found that I could do what I needed without changing the code so I changed
   it back to its original code. Unfortunately there is something now wrong with
   my header code. See my website at [http://www.findthecaptital.com](http://www.findthecaptital.com)
   above the logo in the header. Any idea how I can fix this?

 * Try re-uploading a fresh, unpacked, copy of your theme using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   or whatever file management application your host provides.

 * Use [Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/) to share the full text of your header.php
   file (the edited file) in a link here. We can take a peak.

 * If you can delete the theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and then re-upload 
   the fresh copy, so much the better.

 * esmi, just to be clear, I should change the theme I’m currently using to a different
   one, delete the theme I was using, then re-upload the deleted theme via FTP and
   then turn turn the theme back on?

 * I wanted to compare the sites output HTML (source code) and the header file, 
   but the site is now down. Contact web host.
 * If that was all you edited, replace the header.php with the original from the
   theme download using FTP.
