That's very odd -- if you've added (message "Value is %S" varname) to the code and you're not getting any messages from that, my only explanation is that the form is not being evaluated. Reasons for that could be "it's in the wrong place", or maybe "you forgot to evaluate the modified function definition". It's hard to say, though.

I find edebug more user friendly than regular debug. It steps through the function showing every value. Nevertheless, it can take some time. Couldn't get it to go with logging the value as message which seems to be the less complicated way. Might have to take a more detailed look into the docs...

"It depends" -- whichever gets me the result with the least effort basically. Probably either message or using one of the debuggers in practice. Try them all. Using the debuggers is the most complex suggestion, but having a basic familiarity with those is very valuable, so I recommend doing that regardless of the current problem.
