 * Hello. I followed some guidelines on how to insert adsense in a blog post and
   it didn’t work so I then deleted the bit of code that I had inserted into functions.
   php. There is now an error in the coding which reads **Parse error: syntax error,
   unexpected T_STRING in /home4/toponfb8/public_html/wp-content/themes/familytree
   udated2/functions.php on line 8**
 * I can’t do anything on my blog now as everytime I click on something, this same
   message comes up. **I now can’t click on anything without getting this message,
   and that includes the functions.php link. How can I correct the coding in functions.
   php if I can’ access it?** I even get this error message when I try to login.
   Please help!! The first lines of the functions.php code on my site are (I am 
   using the Studiopress Family tree template);

 * you would need to use a fresh copy of te theme and upload the functions.php from
   it to
    wp-content->themes->your theme
 * using ftp or a file manager if your host offers one
