HELP – Error message after changing some code!!

Hi,

I recently tried to make some changes to the header.php code in order to display my images better on my blog. I followed some detailed instructions and once updated the file I now get the following message at my homepage:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/scent09/public_html/addicted2fragrances.com/wp-content/themes/themasterplan_tma_v1.4/tma/home.php on line 65

I had done a backup prior to making changes but my attempts to restore it are not working.

My code in the header.php file is as follows:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”topbanner” class=”column span-14″> <!– start top banner –>
<div class=”pagetitle”>
// home
</div>
</div> <!– end top banner –>

<div id=”home_content” class=”column span-14″> <!– start home_content –>

<div id=”home_left” class=”column span-7 first”> <!– start home_left –>

<?php $catid2 = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT term_ID FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE name=’Featured'”); ?>

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query(‘cat=-‘ .$catid. ‘&showposts=3&orderby=post_date&order=desc’);

while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();

$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

</div> <!– end home_content –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

If anyone has any ideas what is wrong, please can you help me. I can’t believe i’ve done this and I can’t believe my backup isn’t restoring.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
