Yes I've brought it to the front and I've moved it around the page to areas without any images. Maybe I should recreate the front page, something might be lurking there that I'm not seeing? not sure UGH! you know the frustration!!!!!

thank you!!! any other suggestions? :(:|


Also, so you don't end up doing extra work for no reason, did you FORCE a refresh on the page after you tried the code to bring it to the front? I know that has been a cause of misfortune for many of us over time.

:lol: Good idea, Phil!!! I always forget about that, but if everyone else can see it and you can't - that's usually the culprit :lol:

Think of it like VSD taking a picture every time you change/add something and save it. Each page is a separate file, so if you have a logo on your home page and copy/paste it to the other pages, VSD "takes a picture" of each pasted logo. So you could have 'my_logo.jpg' and 'IMG_1.jpg', IMG_2.jpg'.... Also, if you apply an effect to an image (like a drop-shadow), you'll find one of those IMG files showing the pic with some background (to display the shadow) around it. I usually get my home page done with the logo and graphic elements in place then choose the copy an existing page (under add page) for each new page I add. It helps to keep so many of those IMG files from creeping in :)

Glad to see you got your FB button in place ;)

ooooohhhhhh OK, I make such frequent updates to my sites, so I guess I should go in and delete all those images that aren't there anymore?

another question on the like button, not sure if it has anything to do with CC but I see that people are clicking on it on my traffic counter but the number isn't changing on my site, any ideas on that? thank you!!!!!!!!

I still see that other FB button hiding behind your header image. I bet if you get rid of that it will start working.
See attached.

Click on your header image and send it to the back to see if the button will show its self.

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Ok I see that, not OK to have both share and like? will the share count go over to the like count if I remove? I'm not sure what to do!!!!!!!!!

I have other sites where the count isn't increasing and I see the button, so really know I"m not doing this right. Like these

Hey Eric have you seen the Youtube Two Dogs Dining? It looks like you were one of the actors in it.
