Set the page title
There is only one title property: the title of the page. The title appears in the title bar of the Document window in Dreamweaver as well as in the
browser’s title bar when you view the page in most browsers. The title also appears in the Document window toolbar.
Specify the title in the Document window
Enter the title in the Title text box in the Document window toolbar.
Specify the title in the head content
1. Select View > Head Content.
2. Select the Title marker that appears at the top of the Document window.
3. Specify the page title in the Property inspector.
Specify keywords for the page
Many search-engine robots (programs that automatically browse the web gathering information for search engines to index) read the contents of
the Keywords meta tag and use the information to index your pages in their databases. Because some search engines limit the number of
keywords or characters they index, or ignore all keywords if you go beyond the limit, it’s a good idea to use just a few well-chosen keywords.
Add a Keywords meta tag
1. Select Insert > HTML > Head Tags > Keywords.
2. Specify the keywords, separated by commas, in the dialog box that appears.
Edit a Keywords meta tag
1. Select View > Head Content.
2. Select the Keywords marker that appears at the top of the Document window.
3. In the Property inspector, view, modify, or delete keywords. You can also add keywords separated by commas.
Specify descriptions for the page
Many search-engine robots (programs that automatically browse the web gathering information for search engines to index) read the contents of
the Description meta tag. Some use the information to index your pages in their databases, and some also display the information on the search
results page (instead of displaying the first few lines of your document). Some search engines limit the number of characters they index, so it’s a
good idea to limit your description to a few words (for example, Pork barbecue catering in Albany, Georgia, or Web design at reasonable rates for
clients worldwide).
Add a Description meta tag
1. Select Insert > HTML > Head Tags > Description.
2. Enter descriptive text in the dialog box that appears.
Edit a Description meta tag
1. Select View > Head Content.
2. Select the Description marker that appears at the top of the Document window.
3. In the Property inspector, view, modify, or delete the descriptive text.
Set the refresh properties of the page
Use the Refresh element to specify that the browser should automatically refresh your page—by reloading the current page or going to a different
one—after a certain amount of time. This element is often used to redirect users from one URL to another, often after displaying a text message
that the URL has changed.
Add a Refresh meta tag
1. Select Insert > HTML > Head Tags > Refresh.
2. Set the Refresh meta tag properties in the dialog box that appears.
