Q. I cannot make the search results left margin any larger. Why?
A. This is because the overall width of the results is too small. Go down to "choose the width of your results" and enter a larger number here. This will allow room for both the margin and the result items.

Q. My logo does not appear. Why?
A. This is typically because you entered the URL (address) of a page instead of the URL of an image. Image URLs end with ".gif" or ".jpg".

Another common problem is that you did not use the full URL. The URL needs to start with "http://", include your domain name, etc.

Occasionally the problem is that your hosting company will only serve an image if it is also serving the page the image is part of. In these cases, it often will display a substitute image instead. If this happens, you need to copy your image to a different host and use it from the new location.
