Hello Leslye,
the instructions you’ve listed make sense, what you can do is visit the “Appearance – Editor” admin section, open the header.php file from the right panel, remove lines 6-25 of the header.php file (starting with <title> and ending with <?php } ?>) and replace them with the code you pasted above. In case you encounter problems along the way, don’t hesitate to contact me!
Deprecated: Function get_currentuserinfo is deprecated since version 4.5.0! Use wp_get_current_user() instead. in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5383
