Failed to find block 'custom_link'(#(<!-- BEGIN custom_link -->)(.*?)(<!-- END c

[ChrisMayernik]

I just updated from 1.3.2 to 1.4.3 and I went through the theme upgrade guide and right now I am on step 9 of edit theme.php and I got this error after doing step 9. 
This is very frustrating to me because I do not know php or really what the hell the tutorial/walkthrough is talking about. I am just following the steps and hoping it works out. 

If somebody could help me that would be great. I am a professional artist and if anybody would like some art done or graphics in exchange for helping me I would glady do so.     my website is www.chrismayernik.com  .     http://www.chrismayernik.com/artgallery/ here is the gallery  . thanks
