Copy and pasted index.php in Editor, now front page is blank

The wierdest thing, I was messing with the index.php in the Editor, so I copy and pasted the entirety of it to IA writer. In order to revert the changes, I pasted it back in:

<?php get_header(); ?>

			</br>
			<div class=“row” align=center>

				<a href=“#”><img src=“<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/denizensplash.jpg”></a>

				</div>
				</br>
				</br>

			<div class=“row”>
				<h2 align= center>I Create Dynamic and Iconic Characters<img src=“<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/face.png”></img></h2>
			</div>
			</br>
			</br>

<div class=“wrapper” align=center>
	</br>
	</br>

	<?php if (is_page()) { ?>
		<?php the_post();the_content(); ?>
	<?php } else { ?>
		<h4>Recent Posts:</h4>

		<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( ‘showposts=3’ ); ?>
		<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>
			<h4><a href=“<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li></h4>
			<p><?php the_excerpt(__(‘(more…)’)); ?></p>
		<?php end while;?>
	<?php }?>
</div>

</br>
		<div class=“row”>
			<h4 align=center>Hover over the circles below to view my current projects:</h4>
			</div>

			<div class=“wrapper” align=center>
			  <div class=“slider”>
				<img class=“default” src=“http://placehold.it/1200x500” />
				<img class=“circle-hover” src=“http://placehold.it/1200x500/5A2EAB” />
				<img class=“circle-hover” src=“<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/ccslide.jpg” />

			  <div class=“circles”>
				<a class=“purple-circle” href=“http://denizencomic.com”>
				  <img src=“<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/denizen.png” alt=“”></a>

				  <img src=“<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/tribal.png” alt=“”></a>

				<a class=“green-circle” href=“/portfolio.html”>
				  <img src=“<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/bageldenizen.png” alt=“”></a>

</br>
			  </div></div>

</br>
</br>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Now the other pages, like posts, are still up, but the front page is blank. Any help or suggestions? Thank you!
