Thanks Dee! I've been so busy, I hadn't even notice that!

Wow, I just surprised even myself. I poked around in RSD and figured how to correct what had been screwed up on the other pages, when I switched the image from a png to a jpg. Check it out gang!

Here's a peripheral question, if you wouldn't mind. I was just looking over Webmaster and it said there are a lot of 404 codes from pages I've deleted in the past, but other sites might be linking to? Is there a way to add code that would redirect all 404's to my main index page? Does anyone know?

You can do it with .htaccess.
# Redirect old file path to new file path
Redirect /old-directory/old-file.html http://example.com/new-directory/new-file.html

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hmmm, looks like it might work for a single main page, but there are lots of pages from the past, on sites all over the place, directed at my site, for urls that no longer exist.

You can also do this from your cpanel or control panel on your hosting account if you have access to that. It's pretty simple from there as well.
