Venus: My Homepage has suddently stopped updating

[Gordon Hodgson]

Ok, so I found taking the avatar thing out of the spidered files  
seemed to stop the default avatar from working for some (but not all)  
of my feeds... Don;t know why.

Am I correct in thinking the log levels make a hierarchy like this
DEBUG
INFO
WARNING
ERROR
CRITICAL

so DEBUG gives all message levels downwards, INFO gives all except  
DEBUG, and so on?
