Re: No internal links to main URL bad for SEO?

Thanks very much merlinpa but it now seems it's on every page but the homepage. (Which is prob why i couldnt find the word 'Home' in header.php.

Navmainwrapper/navmain somewhere else?

Thx very much

Re: No internal links to main URL bad for SEO?

Aha! - 7 hours later got it figured out. So for any other newbs with this problem

I couldn't see the whole file in 'open', only the first 10 lines or so - just the descriptions. I then did 'open with...' notepad, which allowed me to see all of it. And it still didn't say the word 'Home' in that file (which i was looking for an href near).

When i did find the right spot at

<div id="navMainWrapper"> <div id="navMain"> <ul class="back"> <li><?php echo '<a href="***ADDED IT HERE***">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li> (ending on line 151)

and tried to save it, i kept getting error messages on my homepage. It turns out that neither wordpad or notepad save it correctly and/or may add spaces to the formatting, rendering it unuseable.

After more forum research I downloaded 'Notepad++' (freeware) and saved in that format and bingo!

Now i may have a page ranking as there is at least an internal link to my (not the zc) homepage. But i'm sure that'll b another story...:wacko:

Thx merlinpa for the prompt response
