I'm new, I know almost nothing about Dreamweaver, and like an idiot, i didn't use CSS, now I have over 25 files with no styles and I have to add meta tags to each file. I want to add my keywords, favicon, etc. to each page, it's currently only on the first intro page.If you have any insight or advice for me I would really appreciate it.
temporary site:
pages.videotron.com/amuseind

nice, colorful site ... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
what i usually do in a similar situation, which i try to avoid after being in a similar situation one too many times is create a Word document, and enter a line for each page name with appropriate space between each.
for each page i type a title, meta description, meta keywords and any other verbiage i may have missed (short description for submissions to directories, etc.). after completinng the Word doc, i save it and leave it open while going through each page of my site, copy/pasting the title tag and meta tags into each page. sometimes, if i am lucky, there is enough replication to help speed up the process.
as far as the styling, that may be a bit more painful. after the first time i left styles from a site, i vowed never to begin coding another site without having the Word document with appropriate SEO titles and meta tags, and the appropriate beginnings of a style sheet in development or completed.
good luck ... i feel your pain ... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

One other little question if you don't mind...saw your site so I know you know what you are talking about<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> nice work!
for the favicon, is this all the code I need?
