Hi Two Cats

It looks like you have put the seochat code between the HEAD html on your homepage.

Open your bluevoda homepage for your site, rig***lick and then click on Page HTML - remove the seochat.com code from between the head tags. (Highlight and delete it)

Then save and publish the page.

Hope that helps

The other thing you might have done is to put the code from seochat into a html box directly on your homepage? If so, you would just delete the html box and republish.
(Sorry, meant to add that before, but was on my way out.)

sun beat me to it :/
but, yes do what she said.

This is a form page? It must be published as php and not html

Hi, this is either in a html box on your page or in one of the page properties tabs. This is the part to remove.

Thanks everyone I'll see how I go .You guys just know so much .
Thanks again
two cats

OK I checked all the HTML for each page there is no reference to devshed.I checked each photo as well because if I look at preview and click on a photo the page comes up with that seochat box.I don't know where else to look .any suggestions please?
two cats

also in preview it does not show up on the home page but if I go through google it does, so confusing

This must be so annoying for you!

It's definitely there. See for yourself - When you have your homepage up on Google, click on 'View' on your browser and then 'source' and scroll down - you will see the code that collectors-info pasted in above.
It begins with : <!-- BEGIN Developer Shed™ Network's Code to Text Ratio -->

Could it be hiding under your background? Try deleting your background and pictures and see if there is a HTML box under them. If there is - delete it. (make a copy of your homepage first)

Also - you say that when you click on a photo in preview, that's when you see it?
In Blue Voda, get your homepage up. Rig***lick on each photo - and look at the properties - see if there is any code in any of the fields (under General, Link and Events)
If you see anything there, delete it - and republish.

Hope that helps

Page HTML is not the same as properties and is the last item on the list when you right click. So...

In the Bluevoda builder, open the index page.

Make sure you are not on one of your items that you put on the page (you want an empty spot) when you right click, so that you are getting the info for the page itself.

Click on Page HTML.

Then click on the tab that says "between head tag".

Above the top of the tabs, the code in black is the code that the builder generated for you using properties boxes. Any code that you pasted in the page html will show in blue colored text there.

You will see in the box, under that tab, all the code that you copied and pasted to the page without using the properties box of a page element like a html box, text box, etc.

Make sure you click on the correct tab or it won't show for you to edit.

It should be the only thing in the box below the "between head tag" tab because I can't see anything else in the "view source" that would show up there.

This is where you will need to highlight and delete the code that looks like what Collectors-info posted above to show you what to look for (just click on the box like you are going to start typing, then right click on this box and select all, then right click and delete).

Then save, publish and go on web to see if it is still there.

Most likely this is where you will find the code that you couldn't see before.

I did everythimg you said and still couldn't find it ,so I went to the site through google to view source and deleted it from there I don't know how that works but when I re-published it is gone or at least on my screen .Could someone please check to see if it has really gone? should you be able to delete on view source? It just asked if I wanted to save the change to the site and I said yes .Very strange

Aww snap! You fixed it! Way to Go!

Inquiring minds want to know how you fixed it....

Good Job!

No you shouldn't be able to edit from view source!

Not understanding the phrase "through google"...do you mean Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.?
Like a browser...internet surfing?

Or do you mean Preview? (in the builder, itself)?

I don't think you are where you need to be to edit properly. I tried to *******te and got a w w w . m a g i c palette[1] notepad that I could edit and save but it is only saved in my computer's temporary internet files. And it asked me if I wanted to save the changes....

To do this right you must actually have the builder open, and open the page, and make changes, and use the publish button in the builder...I haven't ever had it ask me if I wanted to save changes during publishing process.

and while reenacting what you did, my bv builder had issue and had to shut down....are you having that same thing happen to you?

Hi Two Cats

Your site's looking good! The code is gone.

Maybe, as Karen suggested above, when I mentioned right-clicking and looking at the Page HTML - you looked through the properties instead.

If you found the Page HTML this time, and deleted the code, maybe that did the trick.

I acually meant I WENT THROUGH E.I to google and deleted it through "view sourcr' I know this shouldn't have worked but it seems to have .I didn't have any trouble with it shutting down as you said karen.I only did it as a last resort because I couldn't find the HTML any where on BV .It's really wierd but at least it seems to be gone.
Thank you everyone for your help I just hope it doesn't come back because I didn't put it there in the first place it just appeaered which is also wierd.

How weird!

And you didn't even put the code there in the first place??? Curiouser and curiouser.

If it ever should happen again, try re-making the page with fresh graphics on a fresh page.

I'm very glad that it's fixed now :)
