 * just want to make sure I have the proper permissions set, etc. such that I can
   get the full functionality of WP Super Cache.
 * It seems to be working pretty well, but what causes me concern is when I tried
   to “Proudly tell the world your server is Digg proof!” and I didn’t see anything
   in my footer.
 * After installation of WP Super Cache, I have wp-content generally at 755, but
   I have given web server (www-data) write permissions to wp-content/themes and
   wp-content/uploads.
 * What do I need to make sure is set permission-wise to get that “Proudly tell 
   the world your server is Digg proof!” to show up in my blog footer?
 * Also, I was looking into the troubleshooting tips associated with this plug in
   and found “Make sure cache/wpcachemutex.lock is writeable by the web server.”—
   Well, no such file exists anywhere in that directory. Does that mean something
   is amiss too?
 * Like I said, I do see pages being cached and I do see the
 * <!– Dynamic Page Served (once) in 0.372 seconds –>
    <!– Cached page generated
   by WP-Super-Cache on 2008-12-06 15:28:15 –>
 * in my source. But these little things make me think I may not be getting the 
   best out of the plugin.

 * Super-cache will let you know if a directory doesn’t have the right permissions.
   As far as the text not showing up it seems that you theme doesn’t have the call
   to wp_footer in the footer.php you can just add it like this.
    `<?php wp_footer();?
