* I’m trying to upload my own theme, using the book “WordPress 2.7 Complete” as
a guide. I got to up to page 134 (after typing out all of the PHP code, only
without those meta tags she has on her blog) and I got this when I tried to view
my site:
* **Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/t/r/e/tremak/
html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/brown_theme/index.php on line 4**
* Of course, line 4** is the beginning of my PHP code:
* **
**<?php wp_title(‘«’ true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’);?
> RSS Feed” href=”” /> Atom Feed” href=”” /> ” />

* Try just using `<?php wp_title(); ?>` initially.
