 * I have a peculiar little box that started showing up in my footer material a 
   week or so ago. I use veryplaintext. The box seems to be coming from some code
   that is at the very end of whatever page its on – it’s the very last item in 
   the footer information. I can’t figure out which page to find it in so I can 
   determine which stray code wound up in there and edit it out. Can anyone help?
   If you want to look to see what I’m referring to, it’s at [http://www.managingleadership.com/blog](http://www.managingleadership.com/blog)
   Just scroll down to the bottom. Thanks!

 * That (link broke for claritys sake) looks like it some stat thing, since it picked
   up the referer. If its in your theme files, it ought to be in footer.php.
 * If not, its something that Yahoo is adding, are you hosted on Yahoo?
 * The box, btw, is because the image in the code is missing.

 * whooami – thanks. Yes, I am hosted on Yahoo. Should I try to find the file that
   has the code you found and delete it or edit it somehow? Or should I try to find
   the image and point the code to it somehow?
 * Thanks again!

 * Hey There — I Too Yahooo and had same problem.
    After finding your post — and
   reading I remembered I could simply disable the YAHOO Stats plugin which can 
   be done through your main wordpress control panel under (plugins) (deactivated
   yahoo stats) little grey box is now gone —
 * I had already manually shed the yahoo button images
 * I don’t mind advertising for yahoo — just want to
    have control over if when 
   and where —
 * You can always go with more advanced Stats Program
    (yahoo helpfully recommends
   one) <yikes!>
 * Hope This Helps
