Template Troubles  

"document.write(date_dd)
document.write(date_mmm") is where the date is, maybe it can't find those variables.

As long is wasn't white on near white, it should have been ok. Google doesn't like fg / bg colors that are close to each other.

Also not seeing much in the way of meta title and description. That could make a big difference.

GAV, same thing often happens when I change and republish sites

Fame is fleeting, BG.

Gav,

I submitted a bot index of your site to crawl yesterday and now you are #1 again at both Yahoo and Google... not sure if I actually helped or just repopulated after your republishing.

Regardless, good to see you back on top down under.

Bob - thanks for the suggestions - I'll give them a try tonight.

JCW - I'm not sure I was ever famous !

Chris - thanks for the links about template updates etc - I'll try them out.

However - I'm still not showing up on a search for "peak energy" (Monkeygrinder's blog does show up in the top spot - that's "peake.blogspot.com" - easily confused with mine).

Googles new tool to help your template GAV.

Enjoy!

Update...
draft/beta blogger stuff is really good with the new "template-editor"

Really good.

It allows custom width, menus, script, pages, header tweaks and as of last month INCLUDES stats!

I forgot to mention that they also have your blogs 'peak mountain' picture as a 'background' image under nature!

I think the transparent theme like I started with and the 'peak mountain' image as a background would make your site rock!

Have a great weekend.

Thanks Chris - I'll check it out...
