How can I fix some keywords?

I'm new to SmugMug. In organizing my photos I added keywords, but misspelled some. On others, the capitalization did not work. So I have the following questions:
1) If I have a keyword that is misspelled, how can I completely delete it?
2) If I have a keyword that is really two words, how would I set it up? For example, if I wanted a keyword that said "horseback riding" would I put it in quotes?
3) If I have a keyword that should be capitalized, how do I do that. For example, I typed Pacific Ocean but it came out pacific, ocean.
Please try to be as simple as possible, because I am still learning about this site. I tried searching the help articles but couldn't find anything that seemed to directly address these.
And besides, I am a computer idiot!
:confused

    1. You can edit the keywords for any photo using the wrench button > edit > photo details tool when viewing a photo. There, to remove a keyword, simply delete it from the keywords field.

    2. Keywords are usually comma or semicolon (;) separated. That makes handling of multi word keywords really easy. So it would simply be:
    horseback riding; another keyword; singleword;
    It doesn't matter if you add the ; for the last keyword or not, but it would save you from having to add it in the future if you decide to add another one.

    3. Keywords can't be capitalized - they're always lower case.

    If you have further questions, including a link to your site / the specific page you're working on may be helpful.

    If the last keyword is multiple word it has to have an ending ;
    Otherwise the odds are very high it will split like your pacific; ocean. Use pacific ocean;

    If you go into wrench button > edit > photo details to edit KW's and the last KW is a multiple word,
    because of a current bug you have to add back in that last ;
    I've found this happening random, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

    Another way:
    Go into Organize.
    Find and click the gallery whose keywords you want to edit.
    Click the wrench at the top.
    Click Captions and Keywords.
    This gives you a lot of editing capability.
