How to customize meta tags in individual pages using same DWT

I have just started converting my web tfrom using shared borders and
include pages to using Dynamic Web Template (DWT). It's really cool.
A lot simpler than I expected.

What I don't understand is how to customize the meta tags in the head
block of each page. I have been judiciously maintaining these as
recommended by various search engine optimization articles and software
(SEO).

I can't see how I can keep this data to help improve search engine
crawlers to rank my pages.

Thanks
TonyS.

On the DWT place the title and meta tags in editable regions. Then
when you update the DWT and the pages, those tags will not be touched
in the pages.

<head>
<!-- #BeginEditable "DocTitle" -->
<title>Title here</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->

<!-- #BeginEditable "DocDescription" -->
<meta name="description" content="Description here">
<!-- #EndEditable -->

<!-- #BeginEditable "DocKeywords" -->
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords here">
<!-- #EndEditable -->

</head>

Or (easier) combine the editable regions into one:
<head>
<!-- #BeginEditable "DocTitle" -->
<title>Title here</title>
<meta name="description" content="Description here">
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords here">
<!-- #EndEditable -->

</head>

The attached pages will retain the tags they have, or for the 1st
method, will adopt the default tags in the DWT.

And don't bother with keywords, as they are not used anyhow. Just do the
meta descriptions and let it go at that.

None of the "big guys" use keywords....there might still be some smaller
ones that do (I don't know of any offhand though) I usually still include
them more for a "just in case" scenario..but only on a home page. I have a
two minute rule though when doing it..and that is anything over two minutes
is totally wasting my time! :-)

It doesn't hurt to use them, as long as they a relevant to the content of the page.

Agreed! I don't use any words that cannot also be seen in visible text.

It doesn't help, and it *could* hurt, particularly if you have keywords that
do not match the page content.

That is why I said it must be relevant to the page content.
