 * Hi,
 * I was trying to change my functions.php page and when I clicked update, this 
   message came up:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/simpledr/public_html/iamamuslim/
   wp-content/themes/gazette/functions.php on line 266
 * Now, I can’t even access my files on WordPress, log in, or even see my site. 
   The whole thing has collapsed – Help!!

 * Use ftp (what you used to upload the install to the server) to go to yor files
   on the server and replace that file.

 * I tried to replace that file… but the same thing kept popping up and I still 
   can’t officially install wordpress.
    Any ideas?
