Comment 2

Reassigning to Justin.  I think all of this needs to be committed first.

Comment 3

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

Re-assigning to morgamic because I know nothing about the start page system.

Comment 4

[Paul Kim]

the full url for the snippet is:
http://www.mozilla.org/start-snippets/en/snippet-1.html

Thank you, pkim, for moving the bug to the proper component where it can be appropriately fixed, as IT has nothing directly to do with the content of the (www.mozilla.com/www.mozilla.org) websites.

Point taken Reed.  Will make sure not to file in IT next time.

Something seems to be broken with the building of www.mozilla.org, so changes aren't showing up as they should. I'll file an IT bug on getting that fixed.

Also, I noticed that snippet-2.html has the same text as snippet-1.html, but it uses a URL without Urchin tracking, and it uses light.gif instead of the new addons png. Is this correct?

Comment 9

[David Rolnitzky]

Google was not rotating snippet 2 because of a 404 error (due to a typo in one of the url's).  I've fixed the typo in case we'd like to put it into rotation, but will just swap out for operation firefox for now.  I'm going to put in some new content for #2 once we have some supporting landing pages up on our side.

I checked the update snippet:
http://www.mozilla.org/start-snippets/en/snippet-1.html

No image appears.  Is there a way we can ensure that this shows up before we submit to Google?

That seems normal. Looking at all the snippets, the images do not show up because the snippets specify the wrong location for the images (my understanding is that this is on purpose?). For example, /en/snippet-1.html uses "images/addons-ico.png" for the image source, but the actual location is "../images/addons-ico.png". You can see the image at its current location at http://www.mozilla.org/start-snippets/images/addons-ico.png.
