Template and meta tags

We use CS3 and are new to using templates and have a question that we
hope we can get some input on. When doing a templated site should
description and keyword meta tags be inserted in the dwt file or in the
individual page?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Template and meta tags

I think I figured it out. Since Meta tags are in the Header section it
apparently would have to go in the dwt file.

Re: Template and meta tags

No. The description should be tailored for each page. You can ignore the
keyword tag as that's what the major SEs do.

Re: Template and meta tags

Walt,

Thanks for the input. I agree about the keywords tag but read somewhere
that it still doesn't penalize you by having them. As far as the
description tag goes, how and where would you put it on an individual
page since the header is uneditable. I'm probably not getting something
about templates. Can the header section be editable?

Thanks again.

Fred

Template have editable section :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->
<meta name="description" content="Description goes here" />
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
</head>

Re: Template and meta tags

You should se this line somewhere around line 9 in the head of any page
spawned from a Template:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
Plop your cursor between the >< and have at it.

Re: Template and meta tags

If you are not seeing that region, it is the sign of an improperly made
template.

Do this -

Create a new page (Basic HTML).
Use FILE | Save as Template....
Look at the code in the head region of the page, particularly the editable
region around the <title> tag, and the other editable region in the head
called "head".
Make your template file look like that.

Always use FILE | Save as Template when you create your templates and you
won't have this problem again.
