    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

    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!

    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.

    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=" />

    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!

    Best,

    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

    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>
