 * Hello All –
 * I’m a ding-a-ling…I was trying to paste the Meta Slider Pro usage code into the
   Vantage theme’s header.php file. I was unsuccessful, so tried deleting what I
   had pasted and accidentally deleted more than I should have. Now it’s allll messed
   up. I was wondering if someone could help me w/ restoring the original Vantage
   header.php code. More over, could you show me how to insert the code to make 
   the Meta Slider show up?
 * Just a regular person trying to make a site, so lamen’s would be wonderous.
    
   Thanks for your help…

 * I would re download vantage and then copy and paste the old header.php file into
   yours.
 * That should get you at least back to where you were.

 * Hey JB –
 * Thanks for the suggestion. I do everything online, so I just “install themes”.
   I’ve never downloaded anything, does that make sense?

 * yes. Did you edit in the editor in wordpress?
 * I would go to vantage page on wordpress.org, download it, then open the header.
   php in text edit and copy that and then paste it into the editor. Does that make
   sense?
 * And could you provide a url?

 * Ok saweet. Now you can go in and create the slides in the meta slider area. Then
   go to the home link in the theme area and instead of demo slider, select the 
   new slide show instead of the demo slide.
