 * I am in DESPERATE need of help…again!
    Our site went down. I attempted a restore
   from a WP backup. No such luck. I decided to just start the website from scratch
   so I reinstalled WordPress through GoDaddy. At first the site appeared with the
   theme (no content obviously). Now I keep getting:
 * There has been a critical error on your website.
    Learn more about debugging 
   in WordPress.
 * I can’t even get to the WP dashboard.
 * After reading on the forum I looked at my error log. This is what appears. I 
   only copied part of it because it is sooooo long but they all appear this way.
