# Parse Error: Syntax Error

 * I was trying to paste a tracking code in my template function page from MyBlogLog.
   However once I did that I got this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/d/m/f/dmfletcher/html/
   wp-content/themes/freedom-blog/functions.php on line 2
 * I went back and took out the code and resaved the page but that did not help 
   I still got the same error message. Now I am completely locked out of my site.
   I even tried using the back button on my browser, but that didn’t help either.
   Can someone please help me ASAP. My url is [http://donnettefletcher.com](http://donnettefletcher.com)
 * Your help and guidance would be much appreciated.

 * Assuming you have a backup of your theme before you started editing things..upload
   a clean version of that file or all files for that theme.
 * Also clear your browser cache.
