 * Suddenly, today, after posting a new message, I started getting this error in
   my wp-admin side of the site:
 * Fatal error:
    Cannot redeclare get_header_image() in /home/rtatum/public_html/
   blog/wp-includes/theme.php on line 491
 * Now I cannot access my wp-admin.
 * Nothing changed. I just did a directory comparison with my local copy of the 
   files vs. the version on the site, everything is identical. I’ve optimized my
   database. I’ve no clue what’s going on.
 * Help?
