When creating objects consider renumbering those you are going to put on multiple pages. It is much easier to site a sequence of numbers that a random series as SS generates.

Ideally use a sequence of 4 digits. If you use four it will allow you to have a large group of similar objects together AND you won't get a message saying that the number is already allocated.

Therefore If using a 'backgound tile' and you use a white back drop to show your text, make it obj001. (yes three digits) You will want it 'at the back', the first to load & :at the top of the object menu.

Then wehn icluding say three objects on all pages, the header picture could be
obj.1001
a logo on all pages
obj1002
a picture on all pages
obj1003

a text title for each page which isn't important to SEO (these would be further down in the source code even if at the top of the could be,
Home page: Page 1
obj.1101
About page (Page 2)
obj1201
contact
obj.1301 (page 3)

2 graphics found only on page 3 could be
obj1351
obj1352

When creating buttons for inclusion on all pages (those that are hidden in mouse over) make the background buttons
2001
2002
2003
2004

and the forground buttons
3001
3002
3003
3004


If using google ads, you might number them for the links box
4001
and for the ads themselves
4010
4011
4012

Text boxes that might be different on each page may not need to be renumbered, however, make sure the follow the backdrop at the top of the dropdown list.

Text boxes can remain as 3 or maybe renumber 10 apart with home page being 1st
obj110
obj120
obj130

2nd page being
obj210
obj220
obj330


Haveing some spacing allows you to add another text boxt number, say for example obj330 is on another page, use obj331 instead

Why renumber?

Firstly its easier to see where the objects are when you have a multitude of pages,

Secondly, as it is better to have your text at the top of the page for search engine optimisation. Where the text appeard to the human eye might be different to how the bots and spiders see it.

By having your text easily discernible from graphics you can 'play with key words and SEO.

For example, you might interspace texts and google ads to see what keyword trigger which ads, for better payments.

You can then swap paragraphs in the drop down menu while the content remains the same on the page (as you view it). A great way to experiment without rewriting the text - just use the push back or bring to front tool)

Whichever, a few minutes renumbering objects makes it easy to see at a glance what is what and where they are on your page.

To renumber you objects, select an object: then
from the menu:
Object>>Object Editor>>Components>> and just change the number.

(To see how it looks in code, check sourceon your web page or Display code with SS)try moving text in particular back and forward to move up and down the HTML page and you can see if it impacts on your google position or ads.

Besides, it looks neater Smile

Cheers!
