Using Web Widgets in iWeb to Create meta tags???

I am using iWeb '08 version 2.0.3
There is a feature in iWeb 08 to add HTML snippets (when you click on the button at the bottom "Web Widgets".
I have added some Meta tags on each of my pages, for example (my keywords & descriptions have different content, this is an example):
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="this is my description">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="these are my keywords">
<title>this is my title</title>
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
<meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="INDEX, FOLLOW">
I published to a folder, then pushed the code out to my site. When I view the source code, I do not see any of these tags on any of my pages (I put this on all of my pages).
My question is why is this not showing up? I can certainly add this content via dreamweaver, but that would be a pain as every time I update my site, I would have to publish to a folder and then, in dreamweaver, put the code out there again on each page. What a pain in the a*@!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Because whatever you add to HTML Snippet is actually added to another page called widget#_markup.html .
iWeb then link this widget#_markup page to the main page with a iframe, this is the same reason why google analytics javascript and statcounter javascript don't track correctly when add in HTML Snippet.
You better off using some scriptable applications or AppleScript to do post editing.

The answer depends upon the type of meta tag you are trying to insert.

Published web galleries not available as web widgets in iWeb

hi all. sorry some are experiencing probs with iWeb '08. It does seem to have some bugs, but man it is cool for my uses! I have published a web gallery in iPhoto, but when I go to insert it in my iWeb through the Insert Menu up top or through the web widget menu it says there are no web galleries available. i've restarted my machine and still no go. I can visit my web gallery no problem on the internet. Any thoughts? just a bug that needs to be squashed?
seeegs

Same problem here. Does anyone know what this command does? Does it create an iframe tag with the web gallery embedded as a frame? Perhaps we could simulate the effect with HTMP snippets while apple fixes it.

Form not working using web widget

I took a form from my current web site (www.oceangetaways.com) and copied the html source code into the html snippet (web widget) on the site I am designing on Iweb. Everything worked except the Submit button is missing. I do not know html - can anyone look at this and tell me what I may be missing - the new form is at http://web.mac.com/oceangetaways/OceanGetaways/How_ToBook.html. Just remember this is a work in progress.. Thansk

The form rendered fine in Safari, but short in Firefox. You can see the submit button if you hit Command - (minus) in FF (reduce font size).
You need to extend content height in page inspector a bit further down below the submit button.
You also need to config your cgi on your dreamhost side.

Can' use Widgets in iWeb '09

Hello,
I have problems to use the widgets in iWeb. I had the problems with iWeb '08 too and after upgrading to iWeb '09 the problems remain.
I get some screenshots. Maybe they could help. You can see their how the Google Maps and the HTML widget looks like for me. Its an empty block with a blue border and no content.
Google Maps: http://tinyurl.com/dja8gv
HTML: http://tinyurl.com/c8e9k2
Did anybody have an idea what's wrong with my iWeb?
I found nowhere any solution.
Thanks for your help.

I remember people having problems like this with iWeb '08.
As far as I can remember and reinstall is required.
The Google map sometimes causes problems outside of the USA because local postal codes are different from the US ZIP code format. But it should work to some extent.
Backup your domain file from Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb before deleting the application and the .plist.
Reinstall from the DVD using custom install.
Relaunch iWeb, run the update and do a restart before attempting to use the application.

Web widget http insert does't show up

I used web widget on my draft site. Then published the site to my hard drive, opened the site and viewed source code. The insert was not there. tried multiple time. It is a meta name I need to add to get verified by google. How do Insert http line if not by web widget?
Thanks

When you add custom code with the HTML Snippet, iWeb creates a widget-markup.html file with that code.
You find that file in the pagename-files folder.
A JavaScript loads that page.
You cannot add [META|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/meta.html] data with the HTML Widget.
Such code is added to the [HEAD|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/head.html] section of a webpage. You have to manually add it with a HTL Editor of your choice after publishing your page.

Meta Tags: How to Paste into iWeb pages?

I created Meta Tags on Go Daddy. I'm not really sure what Meta Tags are, but I understand they help my web site with keywords and search engines. Here's the Meta Tag codes I created (appears to be three codes).
<title>Dana Point Bodycentre for gift certificates massage skin care body treatments</title>
<meta name="description" content="Dana Point Bodycentre offers gift certificates, gift centre, day spa services for massage, skin care, body care, body treatments, medical skin care, botox, laser hair removal, med spa services and specials">
<meta name="keywords" content="Dana Point, Bodycentre, massage, skin care, gift ideas, gift certificates, gift centre, holiday, specials, book online, instant gift certificates, botox, medical skin care, laser hair removal, med spa, therapist, boutique, retail">
Go Daddy says to "paste the Meta Tag into the Header of my page." I don't understand what they mean by that. I asked them for more help, but they won't help me any further. I need to know exactly where to paste these codes? I created these codes for my Home page, so I suppose the codes go into the .HTML file, or the .file for the web folder. But where? On the .HTML file, when I open it up in Text Wrangler, I see a lengthy text of codes. Where do I paste these codes? And what is the "header" of my page mean?

NOTE 1: about Meta-Tags and Search engine optimization:
Some time ago you could "feed" search engines with words by putting them in the meta tags. Nowadays search engines ignore those tags (probably due to spamming) and only look at the content.
I never did any Meta Tags and it seems to me that my site works fine without Meta Tags on google... Google include PageTitle and PageContent and it works great without any optimisation. Another issue with Meta Tags on iWeb now is that if I publish to a folder I can add MetaTags with text editor but next time I publish to a folder iWeb will overwrite that file and Meta Tags are gone... I then would have to make them all over again... Time... Time... Time...
Bottom line: I see no need for Meta Tags
But people reading this... You're free to decide by your own... it's up to you...
*5 TIPS:*
-Update your sitemaps
-Make a second nav bar made of text links as previously explained
-Further use synonyms in your content. Write your content so that it fits as good as possible everything a 'googler' could search for.
-Search engines don't look for tags, they look for the content of your pages.
-In the end it’s all about three things: Content, Content and Content

They are called web clips, web clips data are store in one plist file so to use one of them you have to extract from plist file: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6720654

Do I need to add meta tag info to all pages if I'm creating a desktop, tablet and phone site?

Hi all,
I'm creating a website for a client and have built a desktop, tablet and mobile site.
What I'm wanting to know is can I add meta tags to only the desktop pages or does it need them on the tablet and mobile sites as well? Does this include images as well since the same images are repeated on all three site?
Lastly I have to add Google Analytics to the <head> section, is this only done on the home page of the desktop site or does this need to be added to every page (including tablet and mobile)?
Would be grateful for any info or links.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi guvieira,
I found the answer to this issue.
For the meta tags, if you create meta tags for the desktop pages, you can copy and paste that information to the tablet and mobile sites.
For the Google Analytics you can copy the tracking html text to the 'HTML for <head>' in the Metadata window (Page - Page Properties) on your masters page (this will flow onto the rest of the pages).
Hope this helps.

Can contributablelement be used to populate a META tag in the head section?

We're currently using UCM 10gR4 with SSPU.
We'd like to use a contribution element to allow contributors to add text that would populate the META tags (Keywords and Description) that reside in the HEAD section for a node.
In most cases, there is a 1-1 relationship between nodes and Content Items (placeholders).
I've already built a solution for this using Custom Section Properties, but the preference is to allow the contributor to review/update the meta values with another contributable element. Then, the text entered can be reviewed within workflow and the element is more prominent to the contributor.
The next best solution would be to use a metadata field to update the meta tags.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,
Todd M

bingo!!!!
Ryan, that was it! The measly little escape characters! Now it's working like a charm, which makes my day!
Here's the recap of the fragment, if others find it useful.
Intent: to allow contributors to enter content that would appear in the Meta tags for a particular page. This content will also go through workflow for the appropriate approval, as well as be more prominent for the contributor to actually enter the content!
Here's the fragment code. "Content" as it appears in the code is the defined placeholder name. MetaKey and MetaDesc are elements added to the Region Definitions (as plain text). The conditionals at the end of the fragment handle the case if these areas are blank.
Thanks to all for your responses!

Best practice for implementing META tags for content items?

Hello,
The portal site I'm responsible for managing our content (www.sers.state.pa.us) runs on the following WebCenter products:
WebCenter Interaction 10.3.0.1
WebCenter Publisher 6.5
WebCenter Studio 2.2 MP1
Content Service 10gR3
The agency I work for is one of many for the commonwealth of PA, which use this product suite, and I'm encountering some confusion on how to apply META tags to the content items for our site, so we can have effective search results. According to the [W3C site's explanation on META tag standards|http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp], the tags for description, keywords, etc, should be within the head region of the HTML document. However, with how the WebCenter suite's configuration is set up, the head section of the HTML is closed off by the end of the template code for a common header portlet. I was advised to add fields to our presentation and data entry templates for content, to add these meta fields, however, since they are then placed within the body section of the HTML as a result, these tags fail to have any positive impact on the search results. Instead, many of our content items, when searched for, the description in the search results only shows text that is displayed in the header and left navigation of our template, which come early in the body section of the HTML.
Please advise as to possible method(s) that would be best to implement usage of META tags so we can get our pages containing content to come up in search results with this relevant data.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

if i remember right the index server will capture meta tags even if they are not in the <head> section. it is not well formed html but I think i remember that we created meta tags down in the body section and the index server still picked them up. you might try this and see if it still works. i believe it worked in 10gR3. Let me know your results.

Quotation Marks in Description Meta Tag

I want to put quotation marks around a book title in a description meta tag. When I add them using the Description field in Properties, Dreamweaver substitutes " for the quotation mark. I know it is doing this because the content= is in quotes. Will the quotation marks show up okay using these html entities in all search engine results that display what is in my description meta tag?
Also, does it work okay to use html. like <em> </em> in head meta tags?

You're spitting into the wind with this. Descriptions in your meta tags are displayed by some but not all search engines. And the manner in which your meta descriptions appear on SERPs is totally out of your control. USE ALL CAPS for BOOK TITLES. Regular case for all the rest.
