Has anyone viewed their page source?

I just noticed that at the top of the source of each gallery page, the line which reads:

<meta name="keyword" content=""word1 word2 ...>

shouldn't it read:

<meta name="keyword" content="word1 word2 ...">

NOTE: the position of the quote marks.

    Can you give a link to an example gallery where you did find this problem? I can't seem to find it in my own galleries. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ne_nau.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >
    There it reads like this:
    <META content="word1, word2, ..." name=keywords> (for example)

    I'd love to see a link to this problem, everywhere I looked on your site it looked fine.

    The problem appears in the source of this:

    It seems to only affect pages where we specify keywords. If we do not specify keywords and it uses the smugmug default, then it is fine.

    Doesn't look fixed for me: 
    <META content="" name=keywords 2006? Spring 2005 September City York? ?New Show? ?Fashion Taylor? Rebecca>


    By the way: Where did you enter those keywords that they appear in the page header? Is this done by gallery keywords, because I haven't tried these ones...only used image keywords so far. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/umph.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

    also, should this be for all levels of membeship? I've got the el-cheapo package right now and only see this, even on my keyword pages: 
    name="keywords" content="online photo albums, photo sharing, photo hosting, photo storage, albums, photo albums, photo, sharing, picture sharing, share photos, photo galleries, photo gallery, photos, photographs, online gallery, picture gallery, picture galleries, online galleries, smugmug gallery, smugmug, smug mug, smugmug photos, images, image galleries, image gallery, gallery hosting, galleries hosting, hosting"

    Steve,

    I also wondered where you can change this in my previous post and suspected that only the keywords entered through customizing the gallery are included in the header. Did you try this? I haven't tried it, yet.

    Nope it's not (not yet)....
    When i do 'view source' right now, i see this:
    <meta name="keywords" content=""Rebecca Taylor" "Fashion Show" "New York" City September 2005 Spring 2006" />

    It seems that if the smugmugger specifies keywords that contain double-quotes ("), they are litterally copied into the content part of the meta-tag, e.g. "Rebecca Taylor". They should be removed. And a little help for us smugmuggers (i just love that word!:): ) in the form of a tooltip/title/balloon may be useful, describing to separate keyphrases/keywords with commas.

    I guess gallery-keywords don't work the same way as photo-keywords (where you can enclose keyphrases inside double-quotes).

    How would you specifiy keyphrases for galleries (i.e. keywords that contain spaces, like 'Rebecca Taylor')? Separating them by comma's? E.g
    Rebecca Taylor, Fashion Show, New York City

    I can't grasp the notion of time.

    When I hear the earth will melt into the sun,
    in two billion years,
    all I can think is:
        "Will that be on a Monday?"

    Just did, and you're right. I added a keyword (that I havn't used elsewhere) to the gallery and then the gallery page's META KEYWORD changed. META tags elsewhere (viewing a group of images by (image) keyword) didn't as I suspect would be expected.

    I guess I would have expected that the META KEYWORD values be based on the keywords assigned to each of the images on the displayed page, but I can also see how that would be a bit more work/processing.

    Thanks Anton. I will remove the quotes (") and replace the seperators with commas (,) as you stated. I am new to "keywords" so I didn't know what was correct and used quoted words as I do with search engines.

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    BTW ... they did fix the quotes (") problem, it use to just be a double quote and that was the end of the keywords header.

    But smugmug's fix generates HTML that is still very invalid:
    <meta name="keywords" content=""Rebecca Taylor" "Fashion Show" "New York" City September 2005 Spring 2006" />

    because after content= follows an open-quote and immediately thereafter an end-quote: content=""
    The fact that other stuff follows the end-quote (Rebecca Taylor" "Fashion Show" "New York" City September 2005 Spring 2006") makes the tag invalid. Some browsers ignore the invalid stuff, but if you ignore that, you still wind up with <meta name="keywords" content=""/>.
    Other browser may ignore the entire <meta> tag all together, because it is invalid.

    But you fixed it by removing the double-quotes around your keyphrases and separating them by comma's. That'll work <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/thumb.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >
