To start, fill the fields "Web Page Title" and "Web Page Description" in the inspector. I haven't done more than that and of course repeated some keywords in the text on the pages. That worked already. Takes a few days or weeks though before it shows up in google e.g.

Adding "title" and "description" is just scratching the surface of SEO. More effectively, you should use widgets to insert page headings... http://roddymckay.com/EasyWeb/html-headings.html Use HTML to insert key images with alt and title attributes... http://roddymckay.com/EasyWeb/test/image.html Basic code goes like this...  Verify your site! At the moment, there's no way to upload a verification .html file to the EW server but you can include the meta tag in the head code of your index.html file - i.e. the first page of your site. Again, there's no way to upload a sitemap.xml so you need to think outside of the box for this one or wait until it has been implemented. Both verification and sitemap have been requested but they must be a long way down the list! One of the biggest crimes against good SEO is the failure to include text descriptions and captions for media. I know I keep harping on about this but the SEO spiders CANNOT so your pictures, watch your movies, flip through your slideshows or listen to your music. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

I hope EasyWeb will provide headings and alt tags, to make it ... well ... easy ;) I'd prefer to have an Alt-Tag field in the inspector, same goes for headings when formatting text. I'm sure that will come sooner or later.

Quote: I'd prefer to have an Alt-Tag field in the inspector The problem is that you can't add alt or title attributes since EasyWeb doesn't use the It would be better to have a widget for inserting images with fields for alt and title and also for a class. That way you could also apply custom CSS for padding, border, box shadow etc. What a lot of users don't seem to realise is that Google punishes slow loading sites and that by embellishing images in EasyWeb they are shooting themselves in the foot in this respect. I'm seeing examples of images on EW built sites with drop shadow, frame, reflection and even headings overlaid on image frames with gradients and box shadows! This kind of stuff is totally unnecessary and, as most people must realise, adds a substantial number of image files to the total page size. In most cases they actually detract from the overall design of the site. If an image needs all these embellishments then there must be something lacking in the image. Over use of effects is a real rookie mistake in any media form - not just web design! The fact that the browser has to download all these "extra" images is only part of the story since the number of server requests also adds to the download time. That's why a lot of web designers are using sprites. Not so much to cut down the total image size but to radically reduce the number of server requests. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Talking about using the html snippet to add images with alt text, how is it about the retina images then? Will they automatically be displayed too?

Good question. Why don't you try a test page to see if it works?

Because I don't have a retina mac to test it  and I wouldn't know how to check the html or css to see if there's anything in there...

Try a test page and post the URL. I can test it on my Macbook Pro retina.

The styles need to be closed with a double quote but I see you changed that! I should have thought of this earlier. In another topic I was trying to find a way to get an image into ewExternalFiles and Paul said that the way was to link to it in a snippet - and then delete the snippet of course - just as I had suggested to you in another topic as a method of getting files into that folder. Therefore, the image is in ewExternalFiles and the retina image is in Images so it doesn't appear on Retina screens. Maybe you should suggest this as a new feature since adding images using an HTML Snippet is a far better way than dragging them in. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

In order to do all the fancy things people want with images in EasyWeb they can't be added as img tags. Eventually we will make EasyWeb detect if an image can be exported as an img tag and do so if we can. If you want to include a retina image using the HTML Snippet you can by including the retina image in the src attribute. Then specify the height and width as the original, non-retina image size (ie. half the size of the retina image). ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

Guess that makes a feature request kinda obsolete ;) [quote="admin":56ikpe55]If you want to include a retina image using the HTML Snippet you can by including the retina image in the src attribute. Then specify the height and width as the original, non-retina image size (ie. half the size of the retina image). Being an HTML noob, how would I do that? I mean, what would the code look like, including two images in the src attribute? ------------------------------- Darian new to web design ______________________ My websites: Vocal Affairs // Singkehlchen |
