 * I love your WordPress theme. I am very new to website production and WordPress
   and changed something in the customiser.php file then lost access to my site 
   screen went blank. I tried to restore the file as it was to no avail either.
 * Does it have a security feature in the customiser.php to prevent you making changes?
   If so, can I restore it and not make changes again. Sorry!

 * There is no security feature, but the customizer is coded in php, so if you make
   an error, you either get a php parse error or the white screen of death.
 * You should be able to fix it by just re-uploading the cusomizer.php file via 
   FTP.
 * If you don’t have it, you can just re-download the theme from the theme depository
   to your desktop. Then unzip it and navigate to the customizer.php file in the“/
   lib” folder. Just upload it to the same folder on your site to override the one
   you changed.
 * If you’re not sure how to use ftp software, you can always just deactivate and
   then delete the theme, and then just reinstall it from the dashboard.

 * Also, make sure you check out the videos at chirothemes.com. They will show you
   how to use the sidebars and contact forms properly.

 * Thank you so much for your advice. It turns out it was an errant apostrophe that
   had crept in. I am very much a “learner” in this field.
 * Also, is there a way you can change the leading between the lines in the text?

 * Not from the customizer, but you could do it with a child theme.
