Header problems (page include)

L

Lisa A

I've learned how to use a header in the page include content, but when I go
to insert my meta tags at the top of each page, the header disappears.
Any solution to this problem? I've also inserted the meta tags on the
header page, but they don't show up. I need meta tags for my site.
thanks,
Lisa

You can not use the FP Include page component to include any content that is outside of the
<body>......</body> tags.

So what do you suggest. I was so thrilled to be able to use this so when I
need to make changes, all the page headers are done at once. But my meta
tags are very important. Any solutions?
thanks,
Lisa

There is nothing wrong with using the FP Include Page component, you just have to understand where
is can be used.

I use it all of the time, but I also use ASP (SSI) Includes, which can be use to include content
that is outside of the <body> tag area.

Each page should have unique meta tags for keywords and description that matches the actual content
that is viewable on the page from a browser.

Meta tags today are not as important as they were a few years ago, in some case it is better to know
even have them. The search engine are looking at the viewable content of the pages.

I'd like to use meta tags and I know how to make them for each page. I am
on a unix server and so far everything works great with FP.
Can you tell me where they need to go then?
here is my site:
www.wolfmountainfarm.com/index2.htm (I'm just finishing up this site)

The following would be in place of your current content in the head section:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Title of Page - Your Website Name or Domain</title>
<meta name="description" content="brief description/overview of page content">
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords that can be found in the page content">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX,FOLLOW">
</head>

I us FP but am on an unix server. I absolutely loved finding out how to use
these headers so I didn't have to change several pages. I also know about
meta tags and do need to use them.
Can you tell me of a way to use them and the headers?
My site is: www.wolfmountainfarm.com/index2.htm (I'm about ready for this
site to go live, and the meta tags need to be made yet.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I must have been doing something wrong earlier, because the header
disappeared.

I always add the meta tags directly in HTML / Code View, never via the dialog box.
