Hi Folks, I have edited all my keywords for sections and sub-sections. Is it possible to edit the keywords on the home page?
BTW, the site is up and open but will not launch until February so if anyone spots any errors shout at me.

Hi Jon,
Are you talking about the Meta keywords?
You can input these by clicking on the "House" icon at the top of your content tree. Click on the General tab and you'll see the fields there.
This also applies for the following brochure pages.
I hope this helps.
I shall take a look at your site.

If you are using the catalog as your homepage -as you are - then it is not possible to edit the keywords - you need to use a brochure page ie the little house at the top of the content tree as your homepage.

Thanks Guys. Keep with me on this one.
I have found, under "Display Options" that the Keyword/Description button was set to auto generate.
I have changed this now and on the front page www.RegalosFootwear.co.uk the source code shows the changes so I now have Keyword/Description ?
I know it's not everything but it's a help.
It just that according to Google they crawled the site on the 17th but it's not indexed yet. That's why I'm trying to change it.

but it's not indexed yet. That's why I'm trying to change it. Google ignores meta keywords and description so it make no difference to your indexation if they are there or not.

Cheers Malcolm. I'm in over my head now but, on some of my other sites Google uses <meta name="description" in the search results so why not with Express?
What am I missing?

<meta name="description" in the search results Google will show the meta description in the search result if you have entered one, if not it will take about 25 words from your page.
Which ever it does is not included in the algorithum when calculating your ranking or indexing.

Thanks Malcolm for clearing that up. I guess I'll just have to wait patiently to be indexed. Meanwhile I'll do everything I can that google webmaster tools tells me to do.
