CS3 templates and meta tag -

Hi,

Just wondering what would be the best way of getting a description meta
tag in the pages of a templated site. Should it be in the .dwt file or
in the page itself? What code do search engines see on a template page?

Thanks for any input.

Fred

Each page should have a unique meta description tag.

All code - don't quite understand your question, though. A search engine
should never see a Template page, only Template child page.

On the child pages, there should be an editable region in the head of the
page called "head" into which you can place such things.

Your template file needs not be on the server, only on your
development machine - so search engines do not see your template.

but if you create a template using File | new | Blank Template it will
typically produce this code:

<!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=utf-8" />
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>


you should immediately put the <meta name="Description" content="put
your description here " />
in the editable region of your template :


<!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=utf-8" />
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->
<meta name="Description" content="put your description here " />
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

then it can be changed on each and every page - which it should be of
course
