# How to fix Parse Error: syntax error message???

 * I just updated a plugin on my blog site (billwoolsey.org) but upon updating, 
   the site immediately shows this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home/billwoo2/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/media-share-drop-down-menu/social-wp.php on line 16
 * However, I have no idea how to get into it and change it. No iteration of the
   site works. Not billwoolsey.org. Not billwoolsey.org/wp-admin. Not even the c-
   panel extension.
 * Help, please!

 * [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or use whatever
   file management application your host provides) and delete the wp-content/plugins/
   media-share-drop-down-menu folder.
