 * Hello –
 * I am new to .php and was looking at the main index template (index.php). I clearly
   did something wrong because now I am getting the following message when I try
   to go to my website:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home2/rainmake/public_html/Theatre4/
   wp-content/themes/atahualpa332/index.php on line 148.
 * 1. How do I count the lines to find line 148?
    2. And can I then post the code
   for help to find the error?
 * Thank you!
