Question: I need to add some meta content, keywords to be exact, to my document. When I try to do this in a page created from a template nothing happens. How come?
Answer: Just as with custom scripts, you cannot modify any content in the head region of a page created from a template unless you have created a special editable region there.
Switch to Code view and locate the <head> tags at the top of the document. In particular, look for the title tags contained in the document. They should look something like this:
<head>
<!--#BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>Your Title Here</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
Your completed revisions should look something like this when you're done:
<head>
<!--#BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3, etc.">
<!-- #EndEditable -->
In addition to this method you could simply insert the meta tags into the defined editable region in the head of your document. While spelling out the location of your meta tags as in the example above may make things clearer, all that is really required is placing your head content into any area defined as editable in the code.
I opened the template in a text editor to make the changes and it still wouldn't work. I finally gave up and just recreated the template.
Good luck!
