James,

   If you close & reopen your browser and go to the 'geauga' service,
it will let you go to geauga's control panel, and from there see the
mapfile.  It is an administrative example but you just can't be logged
into that and bluemarble at the same time.  You'll see there that the
LABELITEM and LABEL ... END section control labeling.  Post your
mapfile fragment if you continue to have problems.

   If you want an individualized example and your data is not
confidential, you can make a .zip file of your shapefiles and submit
them to the site using the "Create a Service" page.  You can turn on
labels and such in your own control panel then, and look at the
generated mapfile.  You would still have to do a little work on your
end to change the data source to shapefiles (instead of postgis) and
maybe repoint some fonts.

Thanks,

Dave Fuhry
