The fastest way to resolve is by using on online meta generator, then copy/pasting into your code. gg2327 09-04-2007, 12:11 PM What type of script are you using?

Look for this: <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->xx-put your stuff here-xx<!-- InstanceEndEditable --> </head> gg2327 09-04-2007, 12:40 PM thanks for the tip bear. i have dreamwever 3 so don't now if that's new enough but i will try it anywy bear 09-04-2007, 12:50 PM I think that may be too old, unfortunately. I believe that began with the MX version (6/7). You could probably manually paste it into the section just below this (from an older version I have here): <!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" --> From that to the "EndEditable" tag just below the page title should be left untouched by the template system, so you shouldn't see a warning. gg2327 09-05-2007, 04:55 AM hi bear is this what you mean. have i put my description and keywords tag in the right place? <html><!-- #BeginTemplate "/Templates/index.dwt" --> <head> <!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" --> <meta name="description" content="A miniature painting site with a painting service, articles and tutorials as well as paint conversion tables for Citadel, Reaper, Vallejo, Coat D'arms and Derivan."> <meta name="keywords" content="miniature painting, painting service, acrylic paints, kolinsky sables, 15mm, 20,, 28mm, 40mm, 54mm"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Home</title> <!-- #EndEditable --> bear 09-05-2007, 04:57 AM hi bear is this what you mean. have i put my description and keywords tag in the right place? Yes. That should be left alone when updating the site after a template edit. Test first, of course, before editing a lot of pages. gg2327 09-05-2007, 05:19 AM will test before doing lots of pages.thanks again for help bear!:) :) :) |
