Please help, i've just finished my first Dreamweaver MX site and I can't figure out if I should use the HEAD, DESCRIPTION, KEYWORDS or all of them in the META list. Can someone pls tell me briefly what the diff is and how to make the most of them for max. exposure in search engines? Are these fields only filled in on the index.htm or on all pages? Are keyords separeted by commas and/or spaces? Thank you for all the help!<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

The Head Item is a way to add head items which you shouldnt worry too much about in my opinion at your level.
However the description and keywords, are important to the ranking and classification of the website with the various search engines. The words you choose to describe the site and the keywords will be used during search engine searches to find a site. The more that the keywords, description and even the page title work together will increase or decrease the probability that your site will apepear at the top of the search list, for the most part. ( some search engines use the sites popularity, number of hits, as a criterion). Try and use words in all three location. (matching ).
