Okay, I have followed your instructions in this tutorial to the letter and am getting a blank test page to generate just fine.

However, the moment I try to add custom code to it, the setup fails. I just did a basic "I am here" insertion, but where you have indicated Your Custom Code Goes Here is generating the quote at the TOP of my test page, rather than in the body where it should be, as follows:

What am I doing wrong and why is the "I am here" quote being displayed at the top of the page, rather than in the body where it should be going?

Thanks for any help!
