    I'm really not that worried about people stealing my images. I have all of them watermarked. Have you even LOOKED on my web site?

    NO, I didn't get the link

    Go to google.com, yahoo.com and all the sites you can submit it (for free) do not pay for it

    Sorry, I did not click on your link before

    Metatag is not an option, and just putting it in the body of the page doesn't work.

    OK, what is your email address? I will send the index page to you. Just paste it on your index page file. What software ate you using? Let me know so you won't have any problems.

    Here is the top section of my own website about dog training etc,
    See if looking at this helps...
    It shouldn't show up as visible on the site if you put it above the body tag and between the head tags

    ...

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>My site title</title>
    <meta name="keywords" content="MY KEYWORDS - there were a lot so i deleted them" />
    <meta name="description" content="" />
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="main"><!-- start header -->
    below here is my site content

    Ahhhh in that case I might not be much help... I don't know much about how Google does their templates.
  • Aug 27, 2009, 07:36 AM
    hheath541

    It seems like they don't like coding beyond telling what the font to do.

    Got you... Never mind
  • Aug 27, 2009, 07:40 AM

    Thanks for trying.

    Are you happy with that site layout?
    I think it looks good but if you do want to get technical with the coding it might pay to find another template.
    If you Google "free web templates" you can find a lot, most just require you leave their copyright at the bottom of the page but you can alter them however you want.

    Just an idea, it might be too much work to rebuild the whole site though!
  • Aug 27, 2009, 07:49 AM
    hheath541

    I like that one, and I'm not sure if I could use a different template. Google does allow a fair amount of freedom in the design, though.

    The one thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to add a guestbook.

    I made some and I purchased a lot of templates, If you need a new WebSite I can build one for you FREE
  • Aug 27, 2009, 07:54 AM
    hheath541

    Why would I need a new web site? I like mine. Besides, if I honestly needed help with coding I have a friend who can code and hack just about anything.

    Ok, I fiddled with your script and did this...

    <meta name="Description" content="This website is to showcase the works and talents of an aspiring artist." />
    <meta name="keywords" content=" YOUR KEYWORDS GO HERE " />
    <meta name="description" content="" />

    Where you have your description, paste in the 2 lines I added and see if it works... if it does, then just add your keywords in.

    EDIT - whoops, don't worry about the last line, just the keywords one :rolleyes:

    Sorry, just giving my work to you. I got to go back to the real world work thing. I will be back when I get home.

    Nope, still visible. I really think the only coding it'll allow is to change the font.

    Darn, was worth a try though, sorry! :)
  • Aug 27, 2009, 08:04 AM
    hheath541

    Ehh, it's OK. I think maybe it's the metatag script that's messing with it.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Clough again.


    SORRY Clough

    So THAT'S what that message means. I've been wondering.

    I just found this in my old subscribed threads that I've been going back and cleaning up:
    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/intern...ds-230789.html

    There's only a couple of good posts there. And I don't know how it compares w/the info here cause I haven't read everything. But I thought I'd throw it in.

    So, how would you like to proceed concerning what you would like to do, hheath541?

    Thanks!
  • Aug 27, 2009, 11:30 PM
    hheath541

    Well, since it doesn't appear as if I can add metatags or keywords to my site without it being visible and cluttering things up, I think I'll just work on getting links in as many places as possible and rewording a few things on the site.
  • Aug 27, 2009, 11:42 PM

    Did you check out the links about my sites, hheath541?
  • Aug 27, 2009, 11:48 PM
    hheath541

    Yeah, I just haven't done much with it yet.
