Hey all,
I think I've come across an issue similar to this posted before, but after lots of searching I can't seem to find it again in the forums.
When I search for my name (Joel Hazelton) on Google, the first result is my website, but the next result is a direct link to my "keywords" page: www.joelhazelton.com/keyword/joel%20hazelton
I thought I had them hidden and I'd really rather that page not show up in search results. Is there a way to get rid of this?

Search engines don't use CSS that you add to your customizations and therefore, keywords can't be hidden from search engines. The whole point of keywords is so that search engines can pick up on them and they help your search engine ranking. You can't directly control how search engines use the data they find.
If you don't want keywords in search results, you have to remove them from your photos entirely, but we don't recommend that.
Or you could disable the 'hello world' feature in your galleries or the settings tab of your control panel to prevent search engines from indexing your galleries in the first place. Again, I don't think that's something you would like to.
