 * i am viewing my presentation tab in the admin screen to choose a template and
   my current theme, which looks fine on the blog is showing me code instead of 
   the theme title. i searched and searched through help files here, but have not
   found this issue.
 * i tried to edit another theme and have changed it completely, but now i have 
   code everywhere. it’s long, but starts like this:
    `Current Theme Sean's Connections
   Theme URI: http://wpthemes.info Version: 1.0 Description: e-Sean theme Author:
   Patricia Muller Author URI: http://www.vanillamist.com/blog/ */ body { margin:
   0; padding:0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 
   0.9em; text-align:center; color:#000000; line-height:1.3em; background:  do you
   know which file i would have messed up to cause code to appear instead of just
   the title and author name?

 * Do you have this at the top of the style.css:
    `/* Theme Name: WordPress Default
   Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/ Description: The default WordPress theme based
   on the famous <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/">Kubrick</a>. Version:
   1.5... */ Note the opening and closing comment (/* */)

 * yeah, but the style.css is one of the files i changed prior to seeing the error.
   here’s what i have to start style.css:
    `/*  Theme Name: Sean's Connections Theme
   URI: http://wpthemes.info Version: 1.0 Description: e-Sean theme Author: Patricia
   Muller Author URI: http://www.vanillamist.com/blog/ */ body { margin:0; padding:
   0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9em; text-
   align:center; color:#000000; line-height:1.3em; background: #F3F6ED; }

 * I think this has been caused in the past by incorrect line-ends set by your text
   editor. I can’t remember the right settings though (maybe unix?). What did you
   edit the file with?

 * i used BBEdit 8.2.1 (macintosh). your theory seems quite plausible. thanks. i’ll
   have to explore my line endings and see if i can copy a line ending from some
   lines i didn’t touch to replace the lines i edited.
 * EDIT: i think i was using dreamweaver when things went wrong and then switched
   to bbedit, fwiw.

 * Can you not set them through preferences? (I can with SubEthaEdit on the Mac –
   one of the options is Unix(LF) which mine is set to).
