 * After entering a google analytics tracker to our blog there was a syntax error
   and we weren’t able to log in to the admin panel or view the blog at all.
 * I downloaded the php file with Filezilla and deleted the google analytics coding,
   and I was able to view the blog at it’s URL but still unable to login to wordpress
   admin panel because of this error –
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /homepages/21/d127406775/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mawi-2010/functions.
   php:1) in /homepages/21/d127406775/htdocs/wordpress/wp-login.php on line 349
 * So someone on the wordpress help forum sent me this link
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F)
 * I closed the file with >? as it says is correct in the above link, but that took
   down the blog so I deleted it and now I have this error and not sure how to fix
   it! Any help would be very much appreciated.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /homepages/21/d127406775/htdocs/
   wordpress/wp-content/themes/mawi-2010/functions.php on line 204
