Are you sure that's a pull-down resistor? Cuz.. if it were, the button line wouldn't be bouncing all over the place. smile

A pull-down just connects directly between the GPIO pin of the Arduino and GND. There is often a second resistor (which I think you have) in series with the button to limit current draw when the button is pressed. That one isn't really needed here, but doesn't hurt either.
