My stupid question of the day - how do you add keywords?

msf

Its time for my stupid question of the day. How do you enter keywords for the homepage for search engines to find? I think I had a list a while back before I cleaned out my account, so maybe I hit "hide" on my homepage.

I searched the forum, and looked around, but so far I havent seen the answer.

Or do you simply have to attach keywaords for each picture you upload?

Thanks for the link, im not sure I totally understand how the code would work.

Hopefully I can post this in here and not have the post get messed up.

So in my bio on smugmug, I would paste the following?

"pound key"bioText{display: none;}
"greater than character"div id="bioText">
"greater than character"meta name="John Smith Photography" content="Boston, New York, weddings, portraits, engagement" />
"greater than character"/div>

Or am I mixing up the code? I know html, but I didnt really learn this stuff.

It's described in the link Andy gave you. All I can really add is to repeat what is says there:

1) Put this at the top of your Bio:

<div id="bioText">Put your keywords here</div>

2) Add this to your CSS:

#bioText {display:none;}

That's it.

I realize its described in the link, but I asked for clearification because it did not make sense to me. my webdesign knowledge is a bit out of date *10 years* and im not familiar with this stuff.

But thanks for the help.

You mentioned adding something to my css, do you mean just pasting it in the bio text box with the rest of the stuff, or is there a specific spot to put it? There could be a css settings field somewhere in account settings for all I know.

CSS is in the control panel. It applies CSS styles to your Smugmug account. You go to Control Panel/Site-Wide-Customization and then find the edit box for CSS, paste it in there, then hit the Update bottom at the bottom of the page.
