Beth, thanks
I got it fixed to 90% satisfaction - have a small amount of fixing for short link pages.
Yup absolutely the page you see in LA is not on the site - it's like BV it's a generator but you can see the surrounding html and therefore play - and once generated you get to see all the generated pages.
The issue turned out to be caused by absolute positioning within the footer function which is in every element that BV generates so when I did Naval's header/footer etc they had positioning code within each function - once that was fixed (removed the "top:99px;" type code with Dreamweaver) worked fine.
I'll get it fixed 100% when my son genius tech support arrives for Christmas!
I'll also see if he has any bright ideas for a method of doing the footer/header/side-menu thing other than php as, like you, I'd prefer to keep my .html extensions on my existing sites once i switch over from SOL and not lose my rankings, they're not fantastic by any means but don't want to start from P1.
Thx again.
