   A.) When you have the htaccess set for SSI, you don't need the SHTML 
extension,
*except*
b.) when an include file has a directive in it, like the page location in 
the footer, the include must have an shtml extension... not the main file 
though. I probably forgot to do that.

   The jpg was appearing, for me.

  :) I am a genius but I have zero experience with some stuff you are good 
at, and I am still getting used to having expert help!

Lucky for me! :) Goddess provides.

   Thank you.

   Thank you.
   I don't really understand how making a new template is easier ... For 
me, it is easier to tweak the existing updated files, because most of the 
content is already in the right place.
   Maybe we can do the same trick again, search and replace to swap my 
messy code for your repaired chunks... once they are compressed a bit.
   The other stuff, like moving the video links, will still have to be done 
by hand.

   Sorry about your stomach.. I'm actually glad Goddess makes my "don't go 
there" signals so clear! :)

   Yup... and that break tags have to be at the end of a line because they 
are thicker if they are at the beginning of a line...

   Thanks!! :)
