When I added the following to my functions.php file, my page appeared blank (no admin bar or anything). When I delete the code, my page returns. Do I have a mistake below?
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
function register_theme_menus() { register_nav_menus( array( 'header-menu' => __( 'Header Menu' ); ) ); } add_action( 'init', 'register_theme_menus' );

By makes your page disappear you mean go blank right? Most of the time when there's a php error the page goes blank.
A couple of possible reasons, the function name is different in the add_action hook parameter (you're just missing an underscore).
Also there's a semicolon that shouldn't be there next to _('Header Menu')
Hopefully that fixes it.

11,580 PointsThanks! My underscore was actually there, but I think this text editor interpreted that as me wanting to make my text Italicized (is there a better way to include code in these questions?).
But, the problem was indeed the semi-colon! Thanks for looking. Sometimes it's hard to see those small differences after you've been staring at it for awhile.
