I am trying to place content holders for scripts, queries and meta tags in the head of the template, but after I've saved the template, it bumps them to the body. What am I doing wrong or what should I be doing differently?
Do Not use the wysiwyg editor. You need to use a text editor - notepad++ , dreamweaver etc. Then FTP the file/template to your site. You can also use the "develop" tab if you have access to it.
