 * Which line is 162? I don’t really want to count them to find the error.

 * The last one.
 * Why is your CSS in the functions.php file and not the style.css?

 * I’ve never seen code written like this.
 * You have a function that starts on line 150 and never closes.

 * I’m new to HTML and website design and have probably messed it up, thanks for
   the find. I will try to fix it.
