Beginner: configuration.yaml error when adding a template

Configuration Frontend

Hi,

When adding a template I’m getting the following error.

Failed to reload configuration

Cannot quick reload all YAML configurations because the configuration is not valid: Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 3, column 1 expected , but found ‘-’ in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 23, column 1

YAML below - IP removed from post


# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

#Themes
frontend:
    themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

          mdi:blinds-open
        {% else %}
          mdi:blinds
        {% endif %}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
