Ok guys what am I missing here.

Ive put up my store logo by tinkering with the head.tpl which pretty much screwed up and sent the the rest of the page down by about thirty lines below the logo.

When I go back to fix it later the head.tpl code is the original xcart code? no sign of my crap html efforts or anything... yet my logos still in place. What have i done wrong here and how do i get my own code back.

[supanewb]

I give up where exactly in the head.tpl would i paste my html to get rid of the x-cart stuff and place a centred logo.

Ive tried removing the reference to the xcart logo and then copying and pasting html straight out of dreamweaver but to no avail.
( my logos bigger)

No matter what I do my logo sits at the left margin with the language bar just below it also on the left and then a big gap to the rest of the page

Ive tried looking at the featured sites html but still can't get past this head.tpl thing. I'm using 3.4.3 gold

It could be that the logo has been put in the left (or right) hand column. When looking at the code in Dreamweaver check there are no other columns.

It might help if you posted a link to your site so we could see it, or just paste your current head.tpl code.

<P align=right><

You probably want to get rid of both of those
's because you start a new paragraph underneath, try it and see.

Don't worry about posting questions that you think are stupid, no question is stupid if you don't know the answer.

hth - stick with it you will get used to xcart

[supanewb]

Thanks alot it works perfectly I will definately stick with it and get this site working eventually.

[funkydunk]

Sorry I sshould have said that the offending item was the lack of a <td> for the image cell. plus a couple of other minor things although they could well have been in the original xcart code.
