    That is what I did. I placed it just below the <body> tag and when I previewed the site, nothing showed up. What I am curious about is this: If I am editing my page on my computer, and preview it, will the Facebook link still show? I ask because my google-map for my location does show up properly.

    NeonTrail its http://www.marionbumper2bumper.com but he said earlier that this is a temporary template, I assume he is perfecting the one he wants to use, and not uploading it til its done.

    Bama: Your template your working on that you want to use in the end (not the one on your site now), you can rename the index.html to index2.html and test it on your webserver, the webserver picks up index.html as the main page for that domain (marionbumper2bumper.com). Its a good way to test it on the webserver and not have your customers seeing it under construction :)

    Its best to preview on your webserver instead of your computer. Its ok to preview on your computer for checking text and background colors, simple stuff like that. Especially when changing images, your directory structure is laid out for your webserver, so editing images might not show correctly on your PC if its not the same structure as your webserver. I always copied the whole site to my PC like it is IE: index.html, aboutus.html, contactus.html, images directory to a folder on your PC called "mynewsite" or something like that.

    I hope I'm not confusing you...

    Not confusing me at all. I figured that my problem may be that it is not on my active host server. I am currently downloading the free Expressions Web 4 update that I get for having the copy of Web 3 given to me the other day. I will see if that program is any better. I couldn't get Expressions 3 to work. Whenever I ran it, it would crash on startup. I swear the internet gods are trying to prevent me from doing this! lol.

    Well Expressions 4 seems to be working for me. Having a template appears to be a bit of a challenge, as some of the stuff I want to see is not easy to change. I am no pro at photoshop, but what do you think of my company name logo I created?

    Here is a snapshot of the front page so far.

    Looks good man, better than I thought it would be! Yea editing will take some time to get used to how things are laid out and what changes what. You should also make a section for customer reviews, so people can read them. But I'm sure you will be adding all sorts of goodies later on. :)

    Yeah, the reviews will be on the "locations" link. I only have one location, so no need for an entire page. I just haven't changed everything yet. Much of the other pages are now finished. My biggest feat ATM is getting the Facebook thing. It is fighting me tooth and nail and is just NOT wanting to work. If anyone is good at checking coding, I would be more than happy to send you my homepage (which is where the primary Facebook is to be located) as well as let you know where I want it to be on the page, and the iframe code as well. Maybe someone could give me some help there.

    Sorry for not replying yet on the email and getting things to you. The shop has been so busy that I find myself here until almost 7 pm every night. I will try to get the files to you asap.

    Well now that the site is actually ACTIVE on my hosting server, the Facebook now works. I want to change the background to a lighter color though, but that will be easy enough to do. My current problem is with my slider. When I first started with this site, the slider was working fine. Now it is not. I don't see any problems, but I will post the code here, and if you go look at the site itself, perhaps you all can give me some insight.

    OK, I tried to post the code, but of course my reply is trying to interpret some of the code and changes things up. Anyone know how you can safely post code?


    No luck on posting code. Everything I have tried is not working since the message accepts HTML code, it is taking part of my post and interpreting it as actual code... Any ideas?

    OK. I actually figured it out. I had accidentally deleted to code under the footer that calls out the slideshow and the delay and transition functions. (I don't know what you call it, but it is the best description I can give ATM. lol)

    See what you all think. Suggestions are welcomes.
