Eek! The blank screen of death for your blog is when you see the dreaded Parse error where your blog once displayed.

For many bloggers this can be a daunting experience. What is a Parse Error? What did you do wrong? How do you fix your blog? Well relax as it’s not as bad as it seems. Fortune Fox was actually down recently due to a Parse error that was generated from the sidebar. As a seasoned web developer I understand PHP scripts but even I couldn’t see the cause of the problem - and my eyes were glazing over whilst trying to search for it!

What do you do when you have an error on your blog and have no idea how to fix it? Well, I turned to PHP Builder. They have a forum where people can post their issues or view other people’s PHP script problems. PHP Builder has a team of professional and polite moderators who can assist you.

The Parse error experienced by Fortune fox was due to an apostrophe - yes this small symbol ‘. No wonder I missed it! But the very kind and helpful moderators at PHP Builder picked it up and replied to my query in no time! Thanks to NogDog - a big thumbs up.
