[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Problem with adding logo

[Mark Cyzyk]

Thanks, Kevin!  (And nice logo.)

Yes, I checked that. I also thought maybe there were permissions issues 
with my logo.png file and my _branding.html.erb files, but have checked 
and they are fine.  Finally, seeing that your directory tree does not 
include the intermediary /my_archive/ directory I figured that's just an 
unneeded convention, so I copied my file down a directory and edited 
_branding.html.erb to point to the new location.  Reboot ArchivesSpace 
-- and still nothing!  Thinking...
