Hi, I have few skills in the website area but love platform pro. I just tried to add the meta required to join google apps. I tried to go into Themes> Edit> then clicked on heading and tried to add the code. It didn't work, so I deleted it. But now my site gives this message "The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.simonbreakspear.com/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly." How can I return this to the normal default settings? Thanks very much

You will want to re-upload the original file for your header.php or whatever file you edited, overwriting any changes that you made. This can be done with an FTP program. Once you have it back, know that it is not recommended to edit any core files. There is a better way to add snippets of code to your site. Check this page: http://www.pagelines.com/docs/base-child-theme You will want to activate the child theme and add your code using a hook. Post back if you need further help with that.

Thanks very much for your help. Unfortunately, I do not have much experience in the area and have not used a FTP program before. Also, Where would I find the original file? Would you be able to provide me with a sequence of steps to follow? Thanks for any further assistance you can provide.

You can add this snippet to the the header scripts area in the custom code settings
