I am trying to add pictures to a content page with no luck. No matter how I reference them, they do not show. I have them located in an images folder off the root of the website. I am using Hostgator as my hosting provider and do not have any problems with the ver 1.3 sites I have up and running. Just can't seem to get them to show when I create a content page. Is there some trick I am missing? An while I'm here, can you tell me if I can put an image in one of the sidebar areas? I can't get that to work either. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Doug<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('880','Doug'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('880','Doug','Hi Mark.

An while I’m here, can you tell me if I can put an image in one of the sidebar areas? I can’t get that to work either.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

In my keyword field, I would not only focus on the phrase, but the individual words and variants of the words at the same time. In this case, the keyword field would have: "Char Broil Stainless Steel Gas Grill,char,broil,charbroil,stainless,steel,gas,grill" This encapsulates the term, then each word that makes up the term as well as the duplicate spelling of char broil. In regard to plurals, I go that way at some times as well, depending on the phrase. If grills versus grill gets much more searches, I will choose the plural version.

Can you clear up some things about keywords to use in the meta tags? I've always added my long-tail keyword phrases with a comma between each phrase, sometimes repeating a word or using singular and plural also. I seem to recall somewhere on this forum that that is NOT how you do it. From looking at your setup, it seemed like you put commas between every word, never duplicating words at all. Can you please advise of the correct way to do this? Thanks.

Most in the SEO field suggest sticking with a single H1 tag to keep the relevance of your page focused on a single subject. ie: Heading 1 - Top Level Subject. I have seen any loss of ranking using more than 1 H1 on a page when it is relative to the same subject. If you had H1 - Red Widgets, then farther down, H1 Blue Widgets, that may pose a problem... but if both are identical or very close on topic, I have seen no issues on my own sites, just the opposite in fact! In reality - a page in my example would be <h1 > widgets h1 red widgets h2 blue widgets.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('263','Mark'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('263','Mark','@ Ross -\r\n\r\nIn regard to the question on H1 or H2 - it is truly one of those much debated, should I or not, topics.

The reason why I ask this is I would think it proper to use H2 tags if an H1 declaration has already been made above. Otherwise, is it okay to have multiple H1 declarations? I have been struggling with this issue since adding the tags to my content pages -Should I use H1 or H2 By the way, sorry for your family situation.
