Re: verifying site on google
check all tabs on the code insertion box to make sure there is nothing there
that should not be
each box has 5 tabs
there are 2 boxes, one for masterborder and one for layout, check both

Re: verifying site on google
Thanks Garrett and Anton
You're so patient! Meant to give the url
www.partybags2go.co.uk
I'm a bit wary of changing html!

Re: verifying site on google
You're welcome!
Go back to where you inserted the google line (in NOF).
I think you'll see you put in:
<<meta name="verify-v1"
content="ZQBXTeSKg+Cyo/pfBrvRfkQRtIWMxjRCkwL3T2ssmxQ=" />
See the double <<'s before "meta name"?
See the attached to see how I noticed/found it by viewing the source. I
didn't mean to change it there (you can't), but to use it as a tool for
finding where the issue is.

Re: verifying site on google
when you inserted the code, you inserted two << at the start instead of one
<<meta name="verify-v1" content="ZQBXTeSKg+Cyo/pfBrvRfkQRtIWMxjRCkwL3T2ssmxQ=" />
should be
<meta name="verify-v1" content="ZQBXTeSKg+Cyo/pfBrvRfkQRtIWMxjRCkwL3T2ssmxQ=" />

Re: verifying site on google
Thanks Anton and Garret. Fixed it in NOF. Will republish later. Can I pick your brains about that? I'm leaving it until later in case a potential customer is accessing the site during the day. I've looked at the site when I'm republishing and it doesn't seem to cause any problem in viewing it when it's just one page and I'm just republishing changed assets but when it's the entire site? Any recommendations? Don't want to take up too much of your time!

Not sure I understand your question... If it's "Will this affect how the
site works?", then the answer is no - it's purely visual (although a site
validator would complain about it). If it's best to wait 'til the evening
to make the change - then do it.
I that's not your question, let me know!

Re: verifying site on google
Sorry, my question was a bit confusing. I just meant, does it matter how
often I republish - e.g. if I'm making changes to the master border I have
to republish the entire site and if a potential customer is in the middle of
making an order, it might throw up errors. It's not a problem for 1 page as
it uploads very quickly, but I have looked at the site while republishing
entire site and some pages aren't available. I've noticed some sites put a
page on, saying site not available for essential maintenance for a time.
Thanks for all your time

Re: verifying site on google
Hi Lorraine -
I think you've got it in a nutshell. If you make a change in the
MasterBorder, you have to publish the entire site. If you do publish
everything, users may well get errors.
There are many ways of handling the issue, but I'm lazy enough to just do my
publish at a time when I don't expect anyone to be using it. If your
clientele is fairly local, 5AM or so works well. I know - not a fun time -
but that's why we get the big bucks, right? <vbg>
