And this means going back to edit each page, add these tags, and copy and paste the text from the
back-up.
Thanks! What a fun afternoon I'm going to have - all in the name of the latest FP functionality...

Wrap each as an editable region
<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>Your page Title</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "keywords" -->
<meta name="keywords" content=" ">
<!-- #EndEditable -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "description" -->
<meta name="description" content=" ">
<!-- #EndEditable -->

| Thank you Ron,
|
| Your explanation makes sense and now leads to the inevitable question:
|
| Previously, each page had its own set of keywords and description text (I know they are not
| necessarily used by search engines, but they help me make sure my page content matches the page's
| purpose); how can I incorporate these different tags into a standard, top-of-page DWT?

| It's working as designed. When you apply a DWT to a page every part of the
| page that is not in an editable region is replaced with whatever is in the
| DWT.
| In the <head> section of a DWT the only tag that is in an editable region by
| default is the <title> tag. When a page is updated with the DWT the
| existing <title> tag is retained (editable region) but all other meta tags
| are replaced or removed.
|
| "Cleaning house" is implied by the use of non-editable areas - these are
| fixed by the content of the DWT.
|
| The solution to retaining existing <meta tags is to place them in editable
| regions, along with the <title> tag, in the DWT.
