Please will someone tell me in easy, precise steps how to add keywords,
content, author etc to DreamWeaver MX 2004 pages? I have read every book and
magazine and can't find it - it used to be easy in early versions of
DreamWeaver.

I have also made the mistake of linking loads of photographs with uppercase
letters in the filenames. Can I rename them without having do redo ever single
link?

If you can help, Thanks!!

In V8

you select view --- head area and then you can add the relavbent details.

If you highlight the code in the code window the proporties box will be
displayed and you can type into the box

As to upper and lower case not sure if you can do it in dreamweaver, but
ther is probably some editor out there which will do it.Try looking at
emeditor

Have you access to a copy of HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth
Castro -

This has a good description - page 415 onwards

or something like this you mean ?

Using DW 8

> Please will someone tell me in easy, precise steps how to add keywords,

1. Don't bother with keywords. None of the major search engines use them,
nor have they for quite a while.
2. Add the other meta tags for your own edification - they don't have any
real value on the web.
3. As Malcolm recommended, use VIEW | Head content, then click on any of
the icons there to select it. Now use INSERT | HTML > Head Tags > and
select your poison.

Or manually enter them in code view.

In DW's file panel, you will have to rename each of these image files. I
suggest you do something like this -

Assume you have an image with this name -

APhotoWithMixedcase.JPG

Rename it to this -

somename.xxx

Allow DW to adjust your links.

Then rename it to this -

aphotowithmixedcase.jpg

and again allow DW to adjust your links.

Tedious, but it'll work.
