 * Hey,
    I was editing my website, messing around trying to figure out how to put
   a logo in my header. I went looking in the forums and found a code provided by
   the theme editor. I used it, but had no help. As I went to go take out the coding,
   I continued to get an error code on every page on my site.
 * I continue to get: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in D:\Hosting\5689979\
   html\wp-content\themes\expound\inc\custom-header.php on line 21.
 * I’m not able to do anything at all.

 * I had that when i tried to edit the functions php file as instructed, but it 
   shut down all access from the site with dashboard, so I had to use a backup every
   time from the host. Ask your host to reinstate the previous days version. I’ve
   given up trying to edit the functions file….

 * Download a fresh copy of expound and replace it with the one you have via FTP.
   Also, next time you try and modify a theme, consider using [a child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   instead.
