My stupid question of the day - how do you add keywords?

[msf]

Its time for my stupid question of the day. How do you enter keywords for the homepage for search engines to find? I think I had a list a while back before I cleaned out my account, so maybe I hit "hide" on my homepage.

I searched the forum, and looked around, but so far I havent seen the answer.

Or do you simply have to attach keywaords for each picture you upload?

Thanks for the link, im not sure I totally understand how the code would work.

Hopefully I can post this in here and not have the post get messed up.

So in my bio on smugmug, I would paste the following?

"pound key"bioText{display: none;}
"greater than character"div id="bioText">
"greater than character"meta name="John Smith Photography" content="Boston, New York, weddings, portraits, engagement" />
"greater than character"/div>

Or am I mixing up the code? I know html, but I didnt really learn this stuff.

bumpity bump. :) It's described in the link Andy gave you. All I can really add is to repeat what is says there:

1) Put this at the top of your Bio:

<div id="bioText">Put your keywords here</div>

2) Add this to your CSS:

#bioText {display:none;}

That's it.

I realize its described in the link, but I asked for clearification because it did not make sense to me. my webdesign knowledge is a bit out of date *10 years* and im not familiar with this stuff.

But thanks for the help. :)

You mentioned adding something to my css, do you mean just pasting it in the bio text box with the rest of the stuff, or is there a specific spot to put it? There could be a css settings field somewhere in account settings for all I know.

CSS is in the control panel. It applies CSS styles to your Smugmug account. You go to Control Panel/Site-Wide-Customization and then find the edit box for CSS, paste it in there, then hit the Update bottom at the bottom of the page.
